The ruling on night prayer after sleeping late
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. What is the most appropriate time, Shaykh Salih, for the night prayer: twelve o'clock or later? If a person sleeps and wakes up late, at four o'clock, does he pray? May Allah increase you in good.
Answer:
The entire night is a time for the tahajjud prayer, whether its beginning, middle, or end. However, the end of the night is better for one who is confident that he will get up, so he delays it until the end of the night; this is better. If he prays it before sleeping, there is nothing wrong with that. The point is that he should not abandon the night prayer, but rather he should pray it at any time between the 'Isha' prayer and the dawn. All of this is a time for the night prayer. Yes.
