Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling for the one who prays with the imam in the Sacred Precinct at the end of the night until he finishes? Is he considered to have come to the imam for the prayer, or does his standing in prayer count from the beginning of the night?
Answer:
If he wants the full reward, he must stand with the imam at the beginning of the night and at the end of it, so that he obtains the complete reward. Whoever stands with the imam until he departs, and whoever stands at the beginning of the night and departs, or stands at the end of the night with the imam and departs, he gets a reward according to how long he stood. Yes.
