Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

The questioner : How are you, Shaykh? Ah, regarding the Night of Decree, is it a changing night or a fixed night? Yes. Ah, is the Night of Decree a changing night or a fixed night? Ah, does it change every year, coming in the twenty-first year?

The Shaykh : In the last ten nights, in the last ten nights. It moves; it may be on the twenty-first night, or on the twenty-ninth night, or somewhere in between. Yes.

The questioner : So does it have a different, changing date every year?

The Shaykh : Allah knows best. It may repeat on the same night for two or three years; the important thing is that it moves.
