The Details of the Question
Since Allah created the night for resting and the daytime for working, is working on a night shift at a hospital not contrary to the verse of the Quran as well as to human nature?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
It is a general rule or state for daytime to be arranged as working and night to be arranged as resting and sleeping time; one can work at night if it is necessary for individuals or a community; it is permissible to sleep and rest during daytime; there is no verse or hadith which forbids it.
