What is the ruling on extreme shortening of the Tarawih prayer?

The questioner : The shortening. It means it goes on until the end.

The Shaykh : Extreme shortening in the Tarawih prayer is not permissible, because it causes fatigue for the people, especially the elderly, or those who have an ailment in their knees, or something similar. Then it leads to the person being unable to make supplication, and this is not permissible. If the jurists say that it is disliked for the imam to hasten to a speed that prevents some of the ma'mum (those praying behind him) from doing what is called... how is this? It prevents them from doing what is obligatory?

The questioner : What is obligatory for him, he says.

The Shaykh : So, whoever is not certain should not hasten. Some people do, but praise be to Allah, now some people have become gentler. When we were young, we used to pray with the Tarawih, saying "come on, like this, like this, quickly, quickly." And I prayed with one man in a town near Makkah; he started the first rak'ah with the Surah al-Duha. And quickly, the second rak'ah with "Alam Nashrah" (Did We not expand for you?). The second tashahhud, the first rak'ah with the Surah al-Tin, and the second rak'ah with "Iqra'" (Read). He read "Iqra'" or "Bi-Iqra'". The important thing is that it was with great speed. All the Tarawih did not take more than twenty-three minutes, about a quarter of an hour. And they told me that every day he starts with you in a state where he reduces the burden on the people.
