What are the nights in which the Night of Decree is expected?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, what are the nights in which the Night of Decree is expected?
The Shaykh : The most likely is the twenty-sixth and the twenty-eighth. However, the Night of Decree is expected in all ten nights, except that the most likely is the twenty-seventh. On this occasion, I would like [to say] that those who intentionally come to perform 'Umrah on the night of the twenty-seventh have no share in the Sunnah, because it is not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he specified the Night of Decree with 'Umrah. If it had been good, the Salaf would have preceded us to it. The Night of Decree was specified with standing in prayer, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) This is it, and we ask Allah the Exalted to grant us a share of its reward, and to take care of us in this world and the Hereafter. This concludes this meeting, and may peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

Whoever stands in prayer seeking faith and reward, his sins that came before are forgiven.
من قام ليست قليلا إيمانا واحتسابا غفر له ما أعشق الدم من ذنب.
