Intention for the number of rak'ahs in the night prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among her questions, she says: I love the night prayer and I intend the number of rak'ahs I will pray. Should a person, whether male or female, who wants to stand for the night prayer intend the number of rak'ahs?
Answer:
There is no need for that. One prays whatever rak'ahs are easy for him and concludes with the witr. He prays as many rak'ahs from the night as are easy for him, two by two, and then concludes them with one rak'ah called the witr. Yes.
