The Best Times for Night Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about the night prayer. He says: I pray some of it in the first part of the night and the remaining rak'ahs in the middle of the night. Is this permissible? And what is the best time for the night prayer? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The entire night is a place for prayer, praise be to Allah, whether in its beginning, its middle, or its end. However, the last part of the night is better for those who are able to do so, because it coincides with the Divine Descent when our Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, descendsSunan ad-Darimi 2:296? This is for the one who repents, so I accept his repentance. Therefore, the prayer in the last part of the night is better. But if one prays in the first part of the night, and in the middle, and in the last part, he will receive good for that, if Allah wills. So the entire night is a place for prayer after 'Isha', from after the 'Isha' prayer until the dawn breaks; it is all a place for standing in night prayer throughout the year, praise be to Allah. Yes.
