Hello.

The sleep deprivation would be self inflicted. My personal best is three days and two nights.

"And He it is Who maketh night a covering for you, and sleep repose, and maketh day a resurrection" (Al-Furqan 25:47).
"And have appointed your sleep for repose. And have appointed the night as a cloak. And have appointed the day for livelihood" (An-Naba’ 78:9-11).
In Islam, there is no stated sleeping hours that a Muslim should sleep per day. What is really important is that the Muslim should better organize his time and sleeping habits.
As the Fatwa issued by IOL Shari`ah Researchers, says:
"……The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recommended us to take a nap during the day, whether before Zhuhr or after it. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Take a nap, for the accursed devils do not take naps” (At-Tabarani). This nap helps one get up for the optional night Prayer.
Having stated this, we can say that there is no stated number of hours traced back in the Prophetic Sunnah about how many hours per day the Prophet used to sleep. To the contrary, the Prophet used to sleep for very few hours, and he used to pray a lot during the night. What we are required to do, as far as the issue in point is concerned, is to organize our sleeping hours in a way that guarantees our physical well-being and doesn’t contravene our religious obligations and daily activities."
Hope this helps,
Your brother in Islam.
I dont know of a fatwa off hand, but the quran clearly states the the day time was made to earn your rizk (living) and the night time is for sleep. This is also not healthy at all. How can u be in a clear mind to pray without sleep? Then when u do finally go to sleep, how can u wake up on time to pray? Plz reconsider what u are doing, its not natural or healthy. Allah knows best…
Alhamdulillah.
Sleep deprivation is not permitted in Islam.
One of the Sahabiyyah (female companions of Allah’s Prophet) desired to pray all night and so she tied herself to a wooden post so she would not fall asleep.
When the Prophet (SAWS) learned of this he prohibited her from carrying on with this because it would have a negative effect on her fard duties and she would not be able to complete them properly, if at all.
Sleep is something Allah has Made for us so that we can obtain rest in order to continue worshipping Allah as He should be worshipped.
Allah knows best.
