Question
Is it permissible to study Shnayim Mikra Ve'Echad Targum at night?
Answer
Ideally, if one can study the Scripture during the day, they should do so, but if there is no other time to read Shnayim Mikra Ve'Echad Targum, it is permissible to read even at night.
Source
It is written in Sha'ar HaTziyon (Siman 338, Sif Katan 1): "The Baal HaTurim writes that one should not read Scripture at night, but from the Pri Megadim it seems that one can read Scripture, and it appears that even for those who are stringent, there is no prohibition, but ideally, it is better to study Scripture during the day. This stems from the Midrash which states that the Holy One, blessed be He, studied Scripture with Moses during the day and Mishnah at night." It is explained in the Mishnah Berurah that even according to Kabbalah, there is no prohibition, Azmera LeShimcha (79-80).
