Ruling on Singling Out the Night of Friday for Standing in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible to single out the night of Friday for standing in night prayer? We are students and employees, and we want to take advantage of the Friday holiday to rest, because one of the brothers said: There is a hadith indicating that one should not single out a day or a night for worship. We ask for your ruling. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible to single out the night of Friday for tahajjud; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this. It is also not permissible to single out its day for fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Therefore, do not single out its night for standing in prayer, nor its day for fasting. Likewise, it is not permissible to designate a specific night that people single out for tahajjud; due to the lack of evidence. Yes.
