Can I perform Tahajjud after midnight and still have it count?

Assalaamu alykum, I am thinking of starting to read Tahujjud salaat as a way of asking Allah SWT to re-unite me with my estranged children, please make duaa for me.

I understand that the best time to read this salaat is the third part of the night, but if i were to recite it anytime after midnight, would it still be valid tahujjud salaat ?

Answer
Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)

Yes, the time of Tahajjud Salah extends from the time of I’sha until Subah Sadiq [true dawn]. (Ahsanul Fataawa Vol. 3 Pg. 468)

And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
