The Ruling on Praying Tarawih Behind the Imam and Counting It as Standing the Night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it obligatory to pray the tarawih prayer behind the imam for it to count as standing in night prayer?
Answer:
It is not obligatory, but it is better to stand with the imam and the Muslims, and to participate with the Muslims in the mosques. That is better. If you pray it alone, there is nothing wrong with that, but standing with the imam and participating with the Muslims in the mosques is better and carries more reward. Yes.
