What is the best practice for standing in prayer during the last ten nights of Ramadan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He says: What is the best way to stand in prayer during the last ten nights of Ramadan? Should the people stand for four rak'ahs at the beginning of the night and seven at the end, or should they stand for eight at the beginning and eleven at the end? These are matters that depend on what the people of the mosque and the imam choose. The ruling in this is broad, meaning these questions only arise from the opinion of one who is strict on the issue, saying that one should not exceed eleven or thirteen rak'ahs. As for the one who says the ruling is broad, then what is most comfortable for the people, what they find reassuring, and what they are pleased with is the best. Do what the imam does; if he prays a thousand rak'ahs and it is possible, then pray a thousand rak'ahs. This is Abdullah, may Allah hear you.
