A mosque empty of worshippers during tarawih: does the imam lead tarawih alone?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am the imam of a mosque for the obligatory prayers, and the congregation of the mosque is small. In the 'Isha' and tarawih prayers during the month of Ramadan, no one attends the mosque; rather, they go to other mosques to pray there. His question is: Do I stay and pray alone, or do I go and pray in another mosque?
Answer:
If someone comes with you, even just one person, stay in your mosque. If no one comes with you, go to the mosque closest to you. Yes.
