Which is better: standing in night prayer or the Shuruq prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it better to sit until a person prays the two rak'ahs of Shuruq, or to stand in night prayer?
Answer:
There is merit in both. One stands in night prayer and sits after the Fajr prayer. If he wants to increase his reward and his good, he sits after the Fajr prayer and remembers Allah in his place of prayer until the sun rises and becomes high, then he prays two rak'ahs. He adds this to his standing in night prayer. He is in need of abundant reward. He does not say, "I stood in the night, and that is enough." Rather, he increases beyond that by performing the recommended practice after the Fajr prayer, adding more good. Yes.
