Summary
The Perlis fatwa states that the night prayer may be performed in congregation as long as its proper etiquette is observed. The Prophet's usual practice was to pray at night alone, but there are narrations that he once prayed in congregation at home with some companions, such as Ibn Abbas, Ibn Mas'ud and Huzaifah bin al-Yaman.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu solat malam boleh dilakukan secara berjemaah dengan dijaga adab-adabnya.
