BENEFIT: When Does The Last Ten Begin?

Question: Some people get confused about when the last ten nights of Ramadan begin. Some think that the night prayers for the last ten nights start on the night of the twentieth of Ramadan. So when do they actually begin, and why do they start on the night of the twenty-first? Sheikh Sa'd Al-Khathlan: The last ten nights of Ramadan actually begin on the night of the twenty-first, not on the night of the twentieth. This means that the last ten nights start at sunset on the twentieth day of Ramadan. The reason is that the twentieth day completes the middle ten days. The first ten days end with the tenth day. Then the eleventh day begins the middle ten days, which continue until the end of the twentieth day. After the sun sets on the twentieth day, the last ten nights of Ramadan begin. Based on this, countries that started fasting on Wednesday will begin the last ten nights on Monday night (the night before Tuesday), not on Sunday night (the night before Monday), because Sunday night would still be the twentieth night. As we said, the last ten nights begin on the night of the twenty-first. For those who started fasting on Wednesday, the twenty-first night begins at sunset on the coming Monday. As for countries that began fasting a day later, on Thursday, their last ten nights will begin one day later — on Tuesday night (the night before Wednesday).
