Comparing a mosque that lengthens the tarawih prayer with one that shortens it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sa'id from Riyadh, please, Sa'id. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. My honored guest, may Allah protect you. May Allah preserve you, please proceed. In your first question, may you live long, nowadays some mosques of the community do not decide on the best; some delay the tarawih and some hasten through it. And now, if I want to go to the mosque that finishes early, is the reward the same, or is the reward greater for the one who delays? The question is clear. Clear.
Answer:
My brother, seek out the imam who perfects the prayer and does not hasten through it, and pray behind him, just as one who measures for people. And Allah the Exalted and Majestic said: "Woe to those who give less [than due]." And the prayer is the greatest measure, so go to the one who completes the prayer, whether it is tarawih or other than tarawih, and pray behind him, and avoid the one who shortens it in a way that compromises the prayer. Yes.
