The Impact of 'Umar on the Number of Rak'ahs in Tarawih
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: How is the famous athar (report) regarding 'Umar valid, in which he is said to have ordered twenty-three rak'ahs, when the scholars of hadith have judged it to be weak, and the only thing established from him is that he ordered thirteen rak'ahs? Please rule on this for us again?
Answer:
It has no basis. It is established from 'Umar, and by the consensus of the Companions, the Muhajireen, and the Ansar, that they prayed twenty-three rak'ahs in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This is an overreach. Does he say this? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
