Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the method for calculating the last third of the night? From where is it calculated? Is it from the setting of the sun or from the 'Isha' prayer?
Answer:
This varies depending on the seasons and other factors. However, calculate the time between the setting of the sun and the appearance of the dawn, and divide it into three parts. The last third is what is intended.
