The regular voluntary prayer after the night prayer is performed immediately after it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. A message was sent from al-Dhahran by a listener who says: Abu Hudhayfah M. N. asks and says: I heard from some of the teachers I know at school that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) to delay the night prayer. From this perspective, I have started praying the night prayer with the Muslims in congregation at the designated time, a third of an hour after the call to prayer, and then I pray the regular voluntary prayer for the night prayer late, at approximately eleven thirty. What is the ruling on this action in the Shari'ah? Is it a recommended practice (sunnah) or not? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This is a mistake. The regular voluntary prayer is performed after the obligatory prayer. So if you pray the night prayer with the congregation at the beginning of its time, after the time has entered, as you mentioned, a third of an hour, if you pray the obligatory prayer with the congregation, you pray the regular voluntary prayer immediately after it, and you do not delay it to what you mentioned. Yes.
