Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The questioner, Hasan Sa'id from Dammam, Dhahran, mentions in this message that he works in a commercial complex consisting of a gas station, a grocery store, and a kiosk, and he works in the kiosk. He says that the people next to him do not pray the tarawih prayer there, and after the 'Isha' prayer they go to their jobs. What should I do? Should I pray tarawih alone after the 'Isha' prayer? And is there any guidance, knowing that the mosque does not have a specific imam?
Answer:
Yes, if you do not find a congregation to pray tarawih with, then you pray alone. You pray tarawih alone and you receive the reward, with the permission of Allah. And if there is a nearby mosque where the tarawih prayer is prayed, then you go and pray in the mosque with the congregation, and this is better than praying tarawih alone. Yes.
