Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we hear in the two holy mosques, for the tarawih and night prayers, them saying, "May Allah reward you for the night prayer." Is this action prescribed?
Answer:
No, this is not prescribed. One does not say, "May Allah reward you for the night prayer." This is something newly invented, and it is not permissible.
