The imam omitting the opening supplication in the tarawih prayer, and whether it is based on specific evidence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some imams say the takbir of ihram in the tarawih prayer and do not recite the opening supplication, but rather begin directly with al-Fatihah. Is this action of his valid? Are the opening supplications based on specific evidence?

Answer:
Yes, they are based on specific evidence. Do you come up with an opening supplication on your own? Yes.
