Sunnah Way Of Laying Out A Bedding In A Bedroom

Question: Assalamu Alikum ,

I would like to know if there is a particular direction for placing a bed in a bedroom
or any other related information.

 

Answer: Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

The best way to sleep is in the way the Prophet (s.a.w) slept. He used to turn on his right side and face the Qibla. Hence, you should place your bed in the bedroom in such a manner which allows you to practice on this Sunnah.

It is Makrooh to turn your feet towards the Qibla, so you should not place your bed in a manner that when you lie, your feet are stretched towards the Qibla.

Placing the head of the bed in the Easterly (or Qibla) direction and the feet in the Westerly direction is also permissible.

And Allah Knows Best.
