Question:
Perhaps a second time, Umm Khalid is calling. The supplication for the opening of the night prayer, O Shaykh, is it recited in the two light rak'ahs or at the beginning of the night prayer (qiyam al-layl)?
Answer:
Yes, every taslim has an istiftah, my brother. The two light rak'ahs and the night prayer: whatever is prescribed in a taslim, it is accompanied by an istiftah. Yes.
