Question:
Is it permissible to pray the prohibited voluntary prayer immediately after 'Isha'? Or is it recommended to have a break between the obligatory prayer and the prohibited voluntary prayer?
Answer:
As for the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib), they are prayed immediately after the 'Isha' prayer, because they are attached to the 'Isha' prayer and linked to it. As for the general voluntary prayer, this is like a wide space; one may perform it immediately after 'Isha', or delay it until the end of the night, or the middle of the night, or a short time after 'Isha'. One has a choice in this matter; the ruling in this is lenient.
