Reciting Scripture at Night

Question

Is it permissible to recite the Scripture twice and the translation once at night?

Answer

There is no issue with reciting the translation, but according to Kabbalah, it is advisable to avoid reciting the Scripture. However, on Thursday night (the night of Friday) and on the night of Shabbat, it is permitted.
