Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1909/1538/B=1432) It is not necessary to sleep between Isha and Tahajjud. If someone stays awake throughout night and performs Salah al-Tahajjud before dawn, it will also be called tahajjud. It is not right to term it as wrong.

Q. I am a resident of Ottawa, Canada. During Summer season in the month of May, June, July and August we have to pray Isha Salaat very late in the night. For example, Isha Salaat on June 1st starts at 10:39 and in the middle of the month it goes up to 10:54. This causes undue hardship to people. And we foresee, it will cause lots of hardship during Ramadan when people will pray 20 Rakah Tarawih. We know that in Hanafi Fiqh there is provision to start Isha Salaat at the Shafaq Ahmar time. We seek your Fatwa and opinion on praying Salaat earlier at locations that have Isha times very late in the night. 2224 views
