Question
What is the meaning of Qiyaam al lail. During I'tikaaf I noticed a few persons performing Salaat in Jamaa't about two hours after Taraaweeh. The Imaam recited Surah Yaaseen and some other Surahs. Please comment.
Answer
Qiyaamul Lail refers to Tahajjud Salaat. Literally it means to stand in Salaat during the night time. According to the Hanafi Math-hab, performing Nafl Salaat in jamaa't is not permis s ible. T his practice after Taraaweeh prevails in many places. It is bid'ah.
