Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 781/781/M=1433) One can do Qailulah (siesta) before or after Zuhr. There is no time fixed for it. Its time may differ as per the situation. Qailulah means to take a rest at the time of afternoon though one sleeps or not. القيلولة الاستراحة نصف النهار وإن لم يكن معها نوم (عمدة القارى 3 / 338)
