The Calculation of the Middle of the Night for Standing in Night Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, if I wake up at ten o'clock at night, what is the best time for me to stand in night prayer? Do I calculate the middle of the night from when I went to sleep, or from the setting of the sun?
Answer:
Calculate from the setting of the sun to the appearance of the dawn, and divide it into two parts. This is the middle of the night: the first part and the second part, the first half and the second half. You divide the time from the setting of the sun to the appearance of the dawn into two parts, and each part is a half. Yes.
