The ruling on delaying the regular voluntary prayer (Sunnah) of 'Isha'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This common question says: A man prays the fourth Sunnah of 'Isha' before sleeping, around ten or ten-thirty at night, like that. A man prays the regular Sunnah of 'Isha' before sleeping, around ten-thirty at night. A man objected to him and said, "It must be the regular Sunnah after it," meaning, when do you go to the house and you are praying it? Meaning, from the time you go to the house, you pray it. So, what is the validity of his statement?
Answer:
I mean, the initiative is a good thing. As for it being forbidden or not permissible, no, it is permissible. As long as the obligatory prayer is still within its time, the regular Sunnah is valid in its time. But the better course is to hasten with it so that he does not forget it or get busy, so he does not become distracted from it. The better course is to hasten and for it to be immediately after the obligatory prayer. This contains hastening to obedience, and it also contains fear that, meaning, yes. Getting distracted from it, there is no doubt that hastening with it is better. Even though it is valid as long as the conditions are met. Yes.
