Did the Prophet (peace be upon him) pray Qiyam al-Layl on the night preceding Friday?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Performing two rak'ahs after the Maghrib and before the prayer is a established by word, action, and tacit approval. The time for night vigil ( al-Layl) begins after the 'Isha prayer, and some say after the Maghrib prayer. It is confirmed that performing supererogatory prayers between Maghrib and 'Isha is encouraged on all nights, and there is a prohibition against singling out the night of Friday for vigil among all other nights.
