Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
If by the time of imsaak you mean the time designated by some calendars or programs as a precaution, which is before the time of true Fajr, then there is no issue in performing the supplications of Sahar and the night prayer at that time.
However, if the time of imsaak refers to the entrance of true Fajr, and the morning prayer has been delayed according to those programs as a precaution, then practically the time for the supplications of Sahar has ended, but they can still be performed out of hope. The night prayer can be performed as a make-up.
May you be successful in all good.
