Is it from the Sunnah to complete the recitation of the Qur'an in the tarawih prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the tarawih prayer in Ramadan, most of the worshippers want it to be shortened, and with shortening, the completion of the Qur'an will not be achieved. So the imam has a choice between two options: either he completes the recitation of the Qur'an and reads in the tarawih prayer, and consequently the number of worshippers decreases, or he shortens it in order to have more worshippers?

The Shaykh : I see that he should shorten the recitation, but he should be very calm and composed in the bowing and prostration.

The questioner : Even if he does not complete the recitation.

The Shaykh : Is there something in the nature of attempting to complete the recitation of the Qur'an? Is it a Sunnah or not?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : He reads, whether he completes the recitation of the Qur'an or not.

The questioner : And regarding the benefit.

The Shaykh : The important thing. The important thing is that he establishes the prayer.

The questioner : And he considers the benefit of the worshippers.
