Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

If one makes 2 Rak�ats of Nafl Prayer (Optional Prayer) right after Witr Prayer (at the time of Isha Prayer), is that considered a night prayer like Qiyamul Layl/Tahajjud? Or is it just considered an Optional prayer after Witr (at the time of Isha Prayer)?

If one makes 2 Rak�ats of Nafl Prayer (Optional Prayer) right before Fajr Prayer (at the time of Fajr/Subh Prayer), is that considered a night prayer like Qiyamul Layl/Tahajjud? Or is it just considered an Optional prayer before Fajr (at the time of Fajr/Subh Prayer)?

Jazakum Allahu Khairan
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

Night Prayer is to pray anytime after Isha... and it is an optional prayer.

Witr prayer is an optional prayer offered after Isha that consists of any odd number rakaats.

Any prayers offered other than Fajr dhur asr maghrib or ishan is optional. Prayer has been ascribed for us only 5 times per day. Anything we do other than that is optional.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
