Question:
The questioner asks: Is sitting after the 'Isha' prayer and talking about worldly matters, or religious matters, considered idle talk?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked sleeping before 'Isha' and disliked talking after it. It is better for the Muslim to sleep after 'Isha' so that he can get up for the tahajjud prayer in the last part of the night. If he stays up after 'Isha', it becomes heavy for him to get up in the last part of the night. Yes.
