What is the opinion regarding some of the imams who perform the tarawih prayers until just before the pre-dawn meal?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some imams complete the recitation of the Qur'an more than once in Ramadan, performing the tarawih prayers until the time of the pre-dawn meal throughout the month. Is this action valid?

Answer:
How does one perform the tarawih prayers until the time of the pre-dawn meal? Does that mean he prays all night? Is this excessive? One performs the tarawih prayers at the beginning of the night, then sleeps. If anyone wishes to perform the late-night voluntary prayer at the end of the night, he does so, except in the last ten nights, when they gather for both the tarawih and the late-night voluntary prayer, just as the righteous Salaf used to do. As for the first twenty nights, they perform the tarawih at the beginning of the night and then sleep. If anyone wishes to stand in prayer at the end of the night and perform the late-night voluntary prayer for himself, that is a righteous deed. Yes.
