Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. After this, a listener from the Sultanate of Oman sent a message. He says: "I am the imam of a mosque, but I do not have memorized from the Noble Qur'an except two parts. Consequently, when I lead people in the Tarawih prayer, they are forced to read from the mushaf. Is that permissible or not? May Allah reward you with good."
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with reading the Qur'an from the mushaf in the Tarawih prayer, and in the Tahajjud prayer, due to the need for it; because one needs to read the entire Qur'an, or much of it, in the Tarawih prayer. So if he needs the mushaf, there is nothing wrong with that.
