The ruling on making up the night prayer for one who is unable to stand

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on making up the night prayer if I am unable to stand for the night prayer due to sleep from the people, or due to menstruation?

Answer:
If it is his custom to stand for the night prayer, but something prevents him from doing so, such as menstruation for a woman, or travel for a traveler, or illness, or sleep—he intended to stand but sleep overtook him—then he is credited with what he used to do, valid and established, as stated in the hadith:
He is credited with what he intendedيكتب له ما نوى
if he left it due to an impediment that prevented him from doing so,
He is credited with what he intendedيكتب له ما نوى
. Yes.
