Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it prescribed to stand in night prayer in congregation on the night following the first day of Ramadan, or on the night of the festival, or on the day of the festival?
The Shaykh : Gathering for night prayer is not permissible except in the tarawih prayer in Ramadan. If the first night is confirmed as Ramadan immediately after the Maghrib prayer, for example, such that we are obligated to fast the next day, then it is prescribed to stand in prayer on that night following the tarawih. This is not the case for the last night of Ramadan, where it is established for us that the next day is the festival. It is not prescribed to keep the night of the festival awake individually, let alone in congregation.
Other than that?
