Summary
This explanatory article notes that scholars differ on the timing of Lailatul Qadr. The first view, held by the majority (Hanbali, Maliki and some Shafi'i scholars), is that it falls in the last ten nights of Ramadan, particularly the odd nights, which is the conclusion of Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani. The second view holds it falls on the 21st night, based on the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri. The night is kept hidden so that Muslims strive in worship to seek it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pandangan Pertama: Malam al-Qadr berlaku pada 10 malam terakhir bulan Ramadan menurut pandangan Jumhur iaitu Hanbali[3], Māliki[4] dan sebahagian mazhab Syāfi'i.[5]
