Praying the Tarawih Prayer for the Congregation from the Mushaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner is asking about the ruling on prayer

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He asks: What is your opinion regarding those who lead the people in the Tarawih prayer while looking at the Mushaf?

The Shaykh:
What?

The questioner:
They lead the people in the Tarawih prayer while looking at the Mushaf.

The Shaykh:
Looking at the mushaf, there is nothing wrong with it. He leads people in Tarawih and reads either from memory or from the mushaf; there is no obstacle. This is because Tarawih prayer requires a great deal of Qur'an, a great deal of recitation. And whoever does not memorize it reads from the mushaf; there is no harm. Yes.
