Determining the time of the last third of the night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And other than the tashahhud, may Allah cause you to fail. How do we know the time of the last third of the night so that we can pray in it?
Answer:
This is known by calculating the hours from the setting of the sun to the appearance of the dawn. You see how many hours there are from the setting of the sun to the appearance of the dawn, and this varies according to the seasons, the changing of the seasons of the year, the seasons and the shortening [of days]. So you divide the time between the setting of the sun and the appearance of the dawn into three parts. The last part is the last third of the night.
