The questioner : What does seeking the Night of Decree mean, and what does attaining it mean in the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)?
The Shaykh : In any case, the question has been raised and an answer is required. Seeking it is naturally restricted by known texts, meaning that a person dedicates himself to the worship of Allah in the last ten nights. If he must reduce it, then in the odd-numbered nights of the last ten, or at least on the twenty-seventh. This is what is meant by seeking it. As for the hadith of Aisha, it indicates that the one seeking the Night of Decree is not necessarily required to touch it with his hand, but rather it is an implicit, felt matter perceived by the one who is granted the vision of the Night of Decree, while another person beside him is not granted the vision of the Night of Decree, because this vision is not visual, but rather a spiritual, heart-based vision.
The Shaykh : Repeat the question for me. Is the disagreement regarding the confirmation of the month?
The questioner : Regarding the confirmation of the month, meaning we fasted twenty-nine days of Sha'ban and they said Ramadan has entered. Does this affect the last ten nights?
The Shaykh : No, it does not affect it, because the Lord of the Worlds is the One who determines matters for these worshippers.
Another questioner: Regarding witr, there is the hadith of Bilal. Regarding witr in Ramadan? Seek it in the nights
