The ruling on praying the night prayer in congregation other than in Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
(peace and blessings be upon him). And this questioner says: What is the ruling on praying the night prayer in congregation other than in Ramadan?

Answer:
It is not permissible to persist in this. However, if it happens that they pray in congregation on some nights, there is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stand and pray the night prayer, and Ibn Abbas and Safwan stood with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made him his imam, but he was shorter than him on his left, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) moved him to his right, and he continued to pray with him in congregation, except for the Friday prayer. But this was not a permanent practice. Persisting in this is not permissible.
