The ruling on missing some of the Ramadan nights of tarawih following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We hear in Ramadan, is there anything else, Ahmad? Go ahead. My other question, Shaykh. Yes. My other question is: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) attended the tarawih prayer and missed it on some occasions so that it would not become obligatory upon the Ummah, as mentioned in the hadith. Is it permissible, for example, for a person to do as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, to miss it on some nights, or to do so, for example, due to a circumstance or something like that?

Answer:
No, my brother. The Messenger is an exception because he is the Lawgiver, because he is the Lawgiver. As for the Muslim, he does not leave the tarawih prayer and neglect it on some nights. Rather, he stands in prayer throughout Ramadan. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever stands in prayer during Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward,” meaning the entirety of Ramadan, every night of Ramadan. Yes.
