The Time of the Night Prayer

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. The honorable Shaykh Salih asks about the time for the night prayer?

Answer:
The time for the night prayer begins from the setting of the sun; the entire period is called the night prayer. So if one prays after Maghrib until the 'Isha' prayer, all of this is considered part of the night prayer. Likewise, if one prays after 'Isha' until the dawn breaks, all of this is considered part of the night prayer. However, the later one delays standing for the night prayer until the end of the night or the middle of the night, the better it is. It is better; the later one delays the night prayer until the end of the night, to the last third of the night, the better it is.
Likewise, in the middle of the night, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The best standing is the standing of This is the best standing in the night. And because it is the time of the Divine Descent, it is authentic in the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, descends to the lowest heaven every night when the last third of the night remains, and He says: "Is there anyone asking, that I may give him? Is there anyone calling, that I may answer him? Is there anyone seeking forgiveness, that I may forgive him?" So this is an excellent time. The Muslim should delay his standing in the night until this time, as it is more conducive to the acceptance of supplication. Allah knows best. Yes.
