The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the one who stands with the imam on the Night of Decree and does not go beyond that considered among those who stood on the Night of Decree?
The Shaykh:
All the nights of Ramadan. So, whoever stands with him until he departs is credited with standing on the Night of Decree and the others.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, taqasi.
The Shaykh:
The problem is with a group now who say the imam is an innovator. If he increases the number of rak'ahs in the prayer beyond what they consider the limit, they say he is an innovator. They separate and do not pray with him. This is not permissible. Whoever stands with the imam until he departs. Whoever stands in Ramadan without specifying a number of rak'ahs. He stood in Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify. Yes.
