Mereka (para fuqaha) bersepakat bahawa solat malam Ramadan adalah lebih digalakkan berbanding solat malam pada mana-mana bulan lain, kerana sabda Nabi ﷺ: "Sesiapa yang menghidupkan malam-malam Ramadan dengan solat dan ibadat kerana iman dan semata-mata kerana Allah, akan diampunkan dosa-dosanya yang telah lalu." Solat tarawih, yang jemaahnya di masjid telah dimulakan oleh Umar, adalah digalakkan. Namun mereka berselisih pendapat sama ada solat-solat malam Ramadan yang dikenali sebagai tarawih itu mempunyai kelebihan yang lebih besar, ataukah solat pada separuh akhir malam, iaitu solat yang diutamakan oleh Rasulullah ﷺ. Majoriti berpendapat bahawa solat pada separuh akhir malam mempunyai kelebihan yang lebih besar, kerana sabda Nabi ﷺ: "Solat yang paling utama ialah solat di rumah kamu, kecuali solat fardu." Terdapat juga kata-kata Umar bahawa "solat yang kamu korbankan tidur kerananya itu lebih utama."

They (the jurists) agreed that the Ramadan night prayer is more desirable than the night prayer during any of the other months, because of the words of the Prophet (God’s peace and blessings be upon him), “He who celebrates the Ramadan nights praying and worshipping because of his faith and only for Allah’s sake will be forgiven all prior sins that have issued forth from him”. The (jurists agreed that the) tarawih prayers, the congregation in the mosque for which was started by TJmar, are desirable. They differed, however, on whether these (night prayers during Ramadan known as tarawih) have greater merit or the prayers during the later part of the night, that is, the prayer preferred by the Messenger of Allah (God’s peace and blessings be upon him). The majority held that the prayers of the later part of the night have greater merit because of the words of the Prophet (God’s peace and blessings be upon him), “The best prayer is the prayer in your houses, except .the obligatory prayers”. There is also TJmar’s saying that “those for which you give up sleep have greater merit”.
