Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our dear Shaykh, is it better to read the Qur'an at night, or to sleep and read during the day after the prayers?
Answer:
If he needs sleep, he should sleep to get his rest. If he does not need sleep, then reciting the Qur'an is the best of deeds. The best of deeds is reciting the words of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). And if he combines prayer and reading by praying a voluntary prayer and reciting the Qur'an in it, that is better. Yes.
