The ruling on leaving the Tarawih prayer during i'tikaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, I was in i'tikaf in the last part of Ramadan, and I did not pray except the Tahajjud prayer, in order to follow the Sunnah, eleven or thirteen rak'ahs. So I would sit in the Haram during the time of Tarawih, and I would not pray it, but I would pray the Tahajjud to follow the Sunnah. What is the ruling? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
You made a mistake, my brother, in this, and you deprived yourself of a great reward. It is all Sunnah, my brother: the Tarawih prayer and the Tahajjud prayer are all Sunnah. So you neglected part of the Sunnah and left the other part, and this is ignorance on your part.
