Is it permissible to limit oneself to the late-night voluntary prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This person is asking questions, and I do not know what they are. Is it permissible to limit oneself to the late-night voluntary prayer?
The Shaykh:
If you limit yourself to the late-night voluntary prayer, you will receive a reward commensurate with what you prayed. However, if you pray both the Ramadan night prayer and the late-night voluntary prayer, the reward will be more complete and better. Why did you come here if not to seek reward and recompense? Why are you being lazy, my brother, about standing in night prayer in these nights? You are supposed to strive in standing in night prayer and participate with the Muslims in prayer and supplication, and not deprive yourself.
The questioner:
Because of laziness.
