📚 Al-Faqih vol.1 p.83

It was asked from Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a person: Is it appropriate for him to sleep while he is in the state of ritual impurity? He said: This is disliked unless he performs wudu.

📚 Illal al-Shara'i p.295 - Chapter 230

Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) said: A Muslim should not go to sleep while in the state of ritual impurity, and should not sleep except with purity. So if he does not find water, he should perform tayammum with dust.

8 عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُوَاقِعُ أَهْلَهُ أَيَنَامُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَتَوَفَّى الْأَنْفُسَ فِي مَنَامِهَا وَ لَا يَدْرِي مَا يَطْرُقُهُ مِنَ الْبَلِيَّةِ إِذَا فَرَغَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ 📚التهذيب ج۱- ص۳۷۲

Abdulrahman said: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a man who has intercourse with his wife: Should he sleep in that state (of janaba)? He said: «Allah takes the souls during sleep» and this person does not know what nocturnal calamity will befall him (so) when he is done, he should perform ghusl.

9 عن سماعة قَال: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْجُنُبِ يُجْنِبُ ثُمَّ يُرِيدُ النَّوْمَ قَالَ إِنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَفْعَلْ وَ الْغُسْلُ (أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ وَ) أَفْضَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ هُوَ نَامَ وَ لَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ وَ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ ءٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّه

📚 Tahdhib vol.1 p.370

He said: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a person who becomes ritually impure and intends to sleep; the Imam said: If he wishes to perform wudu (and then sleep), he may do so, but performing ghusl is more beloved to me and is better than that action. However, if he sleeps without performing wudu or ghusl, there is nothing upon him, if Allah wills.

✅ Ghusl of Janaba as a divine obligation, as well as wudu and tayammum, according to the second narration, becomes obligatory when the time for prayer arrives and for prayer. However, there is no reason that a person must perform ghusl immediately, but some actions such as eating, drinking, and sleeping, etc., are forbidden during the state of ritual impurity, and in general, according to narration 8 and others, it is better to perform ghusl during the state of ritual impurity.

✅ The narrations that encourage maintaining purity and being in a constant state of wudu also encourage hastening to perform ghusl of janaba.
