Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If the imam stands up for the third unit in the Tarawih prayer, and after he has recited al-Fatihah
Answer:
he goes back, he goes back. If he stands up for the third unit in the Tarawih prayer, he must go back, even if he has begun the recitation.
