Are the two rak'ahs of the Sunnah after 'Isha' counted among the eleven rak'ahs of standing in night prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : How are you, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: O our Shaykh, I am calling you from Kazakhstan.
The Shaykh: Where are you from?
The questioner: From Kazakhstan, the Islamic Republic of Kazakhstan.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : How are you, my brother?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: I hope you are in good health, may Allah will it, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: Praise be to Allah, I am well and in great health.
The questioner: May Allah bless you, may Allah will it. How are the scholarly efforts, may Allah will it, are they good?
The Shaykh : Who?
The questioner: The scholarly efforts?
The Shaykh: What Allah willed! The books are right in front of me, and I am taking from them the refined honey.
The questioner: Ah, we praise Allah. With the help of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), the wills increase and the productions increase with the help of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)!
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner: We ask Allah for that. Is it possible, O our Shaykh, that we proceed with some questions?
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner: If you have the time, may Allah will it, if you give us even five or ten minutes of it, perhaps, may Allah will it, we will benefit from scholarly benefits, knowing your awareness of the state of being in a foreign land and the scarcity of scholars here!
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good. O our Shaykh, due to our presence in Kazakhstan, we have been exposed to free mixing with young men from other Islamic institutes and jurisprudential ideas... May Allah keep you safe. Is this correct? I mean, are the voluntary rak'ahs after 'Isha' counted together with these two rak'ahs of the post-'Isha' Sunnah? And may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: The post-Sunnah has no connection to the eleven rak'ahs which are from standing in night prayer. And these rak'ahs, along with the post-Sunnah mentioned, become thirteen rak'ahs!
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh: Is it clear? Is it clear?
The questioner: Clear, clear. But is this issue found in the books of the jurists, O Shaykh? Or not.
The Shaykh: No, no, no one says this.
The questioner: No one says this?
The Shaykh: Absolutely, no one says this.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: O our Shaykh, I am calling you from Kazakhstan.
The Shaykh: Where are you from?
The questioner: From Kazakhstan, the Islamic Republic of Kazakhstan.
