The Holy Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, has said, "One fast during the ten days of Zulhijjah is equal to the fasting of one complete year, and the worship of one night during this period is equal to the worship in the "Lailatul-Qadr".
Answer
Sunan al-Tirmidhi (Hadith758; Ilmiyah)

Imaam al-Tirmidhi has verified this Hadith to weak. However, according to the rules set out by the Muhadditheen, this Hadith could be used for encouragement and virtues.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
