What is the meaning of your statement when I asked about standing in night prayer with my family?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If you would allow me, what is the meaning of the phrase "since there was no mutual invitation" regarding standing in night prayer with the family?

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : What does it mean, if you would allow me?

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : The word "mutual invitation" that you mentioned on the way: it is prescribed to stand in night prayer with the family or with companions if there is no mutual invitation.

The Shaykh : I did not understand the word, what?

The questioner : "Mutual invitation," as I recall.

The Shaykh : Where did you find the word "mutual invitation"!!

The questioner : When I asked you, is it prescribed to stand in night prayer with the family!

The Shaykh : Is it prescribed?

The questioner : Standing in night prayer with the family sometimes?

The Shaykh : Ah, I did not say "mutual invitation."

The questioner : I do not mean it, or around it, I mean.

The Shaykh : Yes, this is called "mutual invitation."

The questioner : "Mutual invitation," what does it mean, if you would allow me?

The Shaykh : Come, let us stand in prayer together tonight.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : This is called "mutual invitation"!

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : That is, one person invites the other.

The questioner : Correct, yes. But if there is no invitation?

The Shaykh : By chance, by chance there is no objection, but here another matter comes in, which is.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Commitment. There is no mutual invitation, but the family members commit to praying in congregation constantly; this is contrary to the Sunnah.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
