YOGYAKARTA Tahajud prayer is a type of sunnah worship that is carried out at night precisely after being awake from sleep until the morning. It can be said as the Tahajud prayer if the worship does not exceed dawn. So is it permissible to pray Tahajud at 4 am?

Many of these questions were asked because there was no definite time regarding the deadline for the implementation of Tahajud. This article will provide an explanation for you.

The tahajud prayer in the sense of worship in general is one of the prayers included in the Qiyamul Lail worship, which can be interpreted as night prayers performed after Isha until sunrise.

The tahajud law itself is sunnah but is very muakad or very strong because this practice is often carried out by the Prophet Muhammad. Thus, the practice of Tahajud Prayer cannot be doubted.

Reporting from the website of the Indonesian Ministry of Religion, it is carried out at night after waking up. This means that to do Tahajud, it is recommended to sleep for a while, if it is not preceded by sleep, then the worship cannot be said as Tahajud prayer.

Regarding the Tahajud limit, there are no rules that explain the time in detail. What is clear is that the worship is recommended to be done after going to bed at night.

Reporting from NU Online, the deadline for the Tahajud Prayer is when entering the Fajr prayer time. On the other hand, the Fajr prayer schedule always changes depending on their respective regions. Thus it can be concluded that the Tahajud Prayer at 4 am is permissible all the time. On the other hand, if the Fajr prayer schedule is 4 o'clock then prayer is not included as Tahajj.

Regarding the schedule for the Tahajud Prayer, Muslims can choose when the time comes after bed and is done at night. The following is the distribution of the Tahajud Prayer time, reported by NU Online.

This time is referred to as the main time. Muslims can sleep for a while after the Isha prayer and then wake up at 21.00. After that, perform Tahajud prayer.

Muslims can also choose a time that is nightier than the previous time. This time is often chosen for people who still need sleep after the Tahajud prayer because of one thing and another.

This time is included in a third of the night and is the most important time to pray and pray Sunnah prayers. In fact, the Prophet Muhammad SAW also performed Tahajud at this time, as explained in Manarul Qari Syarah Mukhtasar Sahih Bukhari, which means as follows.

"Indeed, the Prophet Muhammad tahajjud after midnight until dawn, then he sleeps."
