Leaving the night prayer while traveling for fear of the brothers' assumption

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I strive to perform the night prayer before Fajr, but on some trips with the brothers, I find myself energetic. So, should I leave the night prayer and pray before sleeping, for fear that the brothers might assume that I always stay up?

Answer:
No, you have no concern about that. If you are sincere in your intention, you have no concern about it. So, be sincere in your intention and rise in the night to pray whatever is easy for you, whether in the first part, the middle, or the last part. Do not leave the deed for their sake.
