Is it permissible for a man to lead the night prayer in congregation with his family?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks: Is it possible to perform the night prayer in congregation with his wife and children at home?

Answer:
If this is done on a regular basis, it is not permissible. However, if he does it occasionally, there is nothing wrong with it. If he does it occasionally, praying the night prayer or a voluntary prayer in congregation is fine, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did so with his Companions on some occasions. As for making it a habit, it is not permissible except for the tarawih prayer, except for the tarawih prayer and the night prayer in Ramadan.
