Answer
There is no specification of Laylatul Qadr. It could be in any one night of the entire year - Ramadaan - last ten days of Ramadaan - odd or even. Rasulullah (SAW) advised to search for Laylatul Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadaan. The people of every area will calculate the even and odd days according to whenever they commenced fasting.

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.
