Question:
Praise be to Allah, I stand in night prayer, but I stand one night and leave one night, or three nights. What is the ruling on that? May Allah reward you with good. And I do not continue the standing as it should be?
Answer:
Standing in night prayer is recommended and not obligatory. It is permissible for a person to leave standing in night prayer, and it is permissible to pray some nights and leave others. However, continuing good deeds and being consistent with them is better. Even if the standing in night prayer is little, one should be consistent and maintain the standing in night prayer, even if it is little. This is the best and the most. As for obligation, it is not obligatory. It is not obligatory for a person except the five prayers.
The presenter:
