Is the night prayer better at home or in the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-'Uwaishah: Regarding your statement about Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), "What a good innovation this is," the mention of the Duha prayer reminded me of an issue, namely the night prayer of Ramadan in terms of what is more meritorious and what is less meritorious, whether at home or in the mosque. Does this have any connection to the issue of the Duha prayer? I mean, the preference for the night prayer of Ramadan, whether one prays it at home or in the mosque, is the same; it has no connection or relation to the issue of the Duha prayer... And "What a good innovation this is" is what prompted me to ask this question.
The Shaykh : I mean, the summary of your question is: Is the night prayer, the Tarawih prayer, in the mosque with the congregation better, or is it better to pray it at home, even if alone, based on the generality of his statementSunan an-Nasa'i 1599Sahih (Darussalam)? Is that the summary of the question?
The questioner : I mean, this question applies, yes.
The Shaykh : No, I need to understand your question.

O people, pray in your houses, for the best prayer a person offers is in his house, apart from the prescribed (obligatory) prayers.

The Shaykh : No, I need to understand your question.
