Summary
Performing tarawih in the last third or late part of the night in Ramadan is recommended, and some scholars regard it as more virtuous. Tarawih performed either early in the night or late at night counts as qiamullail. Scholars did not discuss praying tarawih after sleeping in detail, but it is permissible and better, based on the statement of Umar RA in Sahih al-Bukhari. The ruling does not negate the merit of congregational tarawih early in the night.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Solat tarawih yang dilakukan tidak kira pada awal waktu mahupun akhir malam dianggap membangunkan malam-malam pada malam bulan Ramadan atau disebut sebagai Qiamullail.
