We pray 'Isha' in Ramadan, and after the imam concludes the obligatory prayer, we immediately stand to perform the tarawih prayer without performing the post-'Isha' sunnah.

The questioner : We pray 'Isha' in Ramadan, and after the imam concludes the obligatory prayer, we immediately stand to perform the tarawih prayer without performing the post-'Isha' sunnah. What is established by the Shari'ah regarding this?

The Shaykh : This is not appropriate. When the imam finishes the obligatory prayer, he should remind the people of their Lord (Mighty and Majestic), as He commanded them:
And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides فإذا قضيتم الصلاة فاذكروا الله قياما وقعودا وعلى جنوبكم
[An-Nisa 4:103]
.
Second: The people should pray the rawatib of 'Isha'.
The questioner's use of the word "posterior" (ba'diyyah) has no meaning, because it is well known that the 'Isha' prayer has no pre-prayer rawatib. After that, you establish the tarawih prayer. This is what is appropriate in terms of order.
