Sleeping on a roof without a barrier is prohibited
Hadith 1310
- " من بات فوق بيت ليس له إجار فوقع فمات فبرئت منه الذمة، ومن ركب البحر عند ارتجاجه فمات، فقد برئت منه الذمة ".
A companion of the Messenger narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever sleeps on the roof of a house that has no barrier (or cover), and falls and dies, there will be no guarantee (or responsibility) for him. Similarly, whoever undertakes a sea journey while the sea is turbulent, and he (drowns and) dies, there will also be no responsibility for him."
