Lailatul Qadr is on odd night in the last 10 days. Please help clarify this as we have started fasting a day after most northern hemisphere countries?

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.
