Does one stand in prayer on the Night of Decree alone in the desert?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We are people of the desert, two or three people, and one who prays
The Shaykh : the Night of Decree in the last ten nights of Ramadan.
The questioner : I hear this talk, but is it permissible for the one in the lesson to pray on his own and receive the reward? Yes, indeed, yes.
The Shaykh : The Night of Decree is in the last ten nights of Ramadan. Decision. And the correct view is that it moves, as Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) chose in Fath al-Bari, and as the Sunnah also indicates. It may be on the twenty-first, the twenty-third, the twenty-fifth, the twenty-seventh, the twenty-ninth, the twenty-eighth, the twenty-sixth, the twenty-fourth, or the twenty-second. All of these are possibilities for the Night of Decree. A person is commanded to strive to stand in prayer during it, whether with the congregation or not. If he is in a town where the congregation is held, then with the congregation is better. Otherwise, if he is in the desert, he prays even if he is alone. Also know that whoever stands in prayer on the Night of Decree with faith and seeking reward attains its reward, whether he knows it or not. Even if a person did not recognize its signs or was not alerted to it by sleep or otherwise, but he experienced it with faith and seeking reward, then Allah the Exalted gives him what is attached to it, which is that Allah forgives his sin.
The questioner : No, he is alone, and no.
The Shaykh : Even if he is alone, even if he is alone.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our master Muhammad and his family and his companions.
The questioner : I was alerting the other one next to me from the edges of Hasan. No, I am from.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may the prayer and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
