Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We observe that some imams in the month of Ramadan leave the prayer in their mosques for some of the obligatory prayers, such as Fajr and 'Asr, and others. When they are advised about this, they say it is to prepare for the prayer of the sarawil. What is the ruling on this? And what is your advice to them?
Answer:
May Allah will that he leaves the obligatory prayer and prepares for the tarawih. This is a noble imam, may Allah will it.
