Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some students of knowledge say that it is not prescribed to stand in prayer in congregation during the last ten nights in the late part of the night.
Answer:
This is an ignorant person; he is not among the students of knowledge. The Companions used to pray them behind the imam and prolong them until they feared missing the pre-dawn meal, and they relied on sticks due to the length of standing. I mean, is this person more knowledgeable than the Companions? More knowledgeable about the Sunnah than the Companions? Every prayer, my brother, for which congregation is prescribed is in the mosques, whether it is voluntary or obligatory. Yes.
