We request an explanation of the hadith (No staying up after 'Isha') and whether the ruling is the same for one who stays up for sports for the benefit of da'wah?

The questioner : The brother questioner says, please explain the well-known hadith in al-Bukhari even if this staying up is like playing and sports, or if it is in the path of calling to Allah?

The Shaykh : Staying up, as you heard, is prohibited in the hadith. The meaning of that is that the principle which the Muslim should now be with and proceed from is that he prays early, immediately after the 'Isha prayer. This is the principle. But if there is a benefit for the Muslims that cannot be achieved except after the 'Isha prayer, then it is permissible to stay up in order to achieve this benefit, whether it is a scholarly benefit, a political benefit, a sports benefit, or otherwise, on the condition that the intention behind it is the face of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). And another thing: that this matter which we have permitted for a temporary reason does not become a cause for missing the Fajr prayer in its present time. If the one who stays up or the one who keeps company stays up or keeps company after the 'Isha prayer for an Islamic benefit, he should shorten the staying up so that he combines this benefit with the benefit of preserving the performance of the Fajr prayer in its time. But if it is more likely in his opinion that his staying up in that matter will lead him to pray the Fajr prayer after the sun rises, then at that time the previous hadith remains in its generality Yes.
