What is the ruling on staying up late after the night prayer?

Question : In the winter days, the night is long, and a person may have interests that are not urgent or heroic. Do we say, for example, to the one who sits to attend to them that he has fallen into something disliked?

Answer : No, we do not say that, because this is an interest. As I mentioned, the length of the night in winter causes him to miss much work during the day. Then, is this dislike a legal dislike? Or is it a dislike like the dislike of eating the desert truffle, or the dislike of onions, or what is similar to that? It is possible. But the jurists understood it as a legal dislike, and they said it is disliked except when there is a need or an interest. It may not be at the level of prohibition, because there are texts here indicating that it is not forbidden, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke about things that were not a dire necessity, and the forbidden is not made permissible except by dire necessity.
