The Prohibition of Late-Night Conversation After 'Isha': Between Dislike and Prohibition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the prohibition of late-night conversation after the 'Isha prayer for the sake of dislike (makruh) or for the sake of prohibition (haram)?
Answer:
No, it is for dislike (makruh), not for prohibition (haram). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) engaged in late-night conversation, but it was out of necessity. It is disliked because it leads to being late for the Fajr prayer, laziness, and so on. Yes.
