The Ruling on Tarawih Prayer and Fasting on the Day of Doubt

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Ha. What is the author’s statement regarding tarawih prayer on the night of doubt, and likewise the people’s custom of praying tarawih before the sighting of the Shawwal crescent becomes clear?

Answer : Yes, the correct view is that one does not act. It is true that on the night of doubt, tarawih is not prayed, and likewise, one does not fast. And I intended to say that fasting on the day of doubt is forbidden.
