Question:
This person is asking about the ruling on delaying the 'Isha' prayer; is it a virtue?
Answer:
He prays with the congregation; he prays with the congregation and does not leave the 'Isha' prayer with the congregation in order to pray it at its best time, which is in the last third of the night as mentioned in the hadith, or in the middle of the night. This is if he does not have a congregation; otherwise, he does not leave the congregational prayer to pray it alone, or to pray it individually away from the congregation and the mosque in order to obtain the virtue. The virtue lies in praying it with the Muslims. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
