Is it obligatory for everyone to follow the names of the Night of Decree?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. I say that someone might say that the issue of analogical reasoning (qiyas) means that concealing these names for the hour of response and the Night of Decree may not be regulated. Like the hour of response and the Night of Decree, the utmost in them is supplication and worship, and following these names requires knowledge.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is it not required of all people to be scholars who follow these names?
The Shaykh : They do not know; the one who does not know[An-Nahl 16:43].
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is it not required of all people to be scholars who follow these names?
The Shaykh : They do not know; the one who does not know
So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
