Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Which is better in the night prayer, O Shaykh: a large number of rak'ahs, or limiting it to two rak'ahs?
Answer:
The better option is a large number of rak'ahs, but perhaps he means: is it better to lengthen the rak'ahs or to shorten them while increasing the number? The better option is to lengthen the prayer; that is what is best. Yes.
