How can we know the time of mid-night? Do 00.00 hours the point of mid-night as it is commonly held by some people?
Answer
Midnight is halfway between sunset and true dawn. So if the sun sets at 7 p.m. and the true dawn begins at 4 a.m., then midnight will be at 11:30 p.m. The criteria for determining midnight are the timings of sunset and true dawn, which differ according to place and season.

Is it enough for night prayers to read only Salat al-Shif` & al-Witr?
Answer
It is permissible to offer al-Shaf` and al-Witr only. It would also be sufficient to offer al-Witr alone.
