Ruling on delaying the Sunnah of 'Isha' until before Fajr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says, "O His Eminence the Shaykh: Ahmad al-Mutayri asks: Is it valid to delay the Sunnah of 'Isha' along with the Witr until before the Fajr prayer?"
Answer:
The safest course is to hasten to perform the Sunnah of 'Isha' before the middle of the night; because the time for 'Isha' extends to the middle of the night, the safest course is to hasten to perform it before the middle of the night. If one prays it after the middle of the night, there is no harm; because it is a time of necessity, but the better course is to hasten to perform it before the middle of the night.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
