Which side of the bed should husband & wife sleep on?
Question
Q.I have heard that when you get married, is there a certain manner and side of which husband and wife should sleep on the bed?
Answer
There is no specific mention in the Qur’an or Hadith as to which side of the bed the husband and wife should sleep on. The positions may be mutually agreed upon.
Yes, the Sunnah method of sleeping is to dust the bed thrice before getting into bed and to sleep on the right side with the cheek resting on the right palm and the left hand on ones side.
And Allah Knows Best
