Question:
Allah sent to you the Honorable Shaykh, and this questioner says: I was praying behind an imam who was praying the tarawih, and he recited the verse about debt at the end of Surat al-Baqarah. When he reached the middle of it, he bowed. The question is: Is this action valid?
Answer:
No, it is not valid. A verse is not divided between two rak'ahs. Even if it is long, you complete it. It is only the surah that is divided.
