120. 'Umar narrated that he asked the Prophet ﷺ: "Can one of us sleep while he is Junub?" So he replied: "Yes, when he performs Wudū". (Sahīh)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Ammār, 'Āishah, Jābir, Abū Sa'eed, and Umm Salamah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of 'Umar is the best thing on this topic and the most correct. And
this is the saying of more than one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and the Tābi'īn. It is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Ahmad, and Ishāq. They say when the Junub person wants to sleep, he is to perform Wudū' before he sleeps.

Commentary
This rule of making ablution is on the basis of desirability, but not as compulsory. It means sleeping after ablution is better, but if a person sleeps without taking a bath and ablution, it is allowed as well.
