Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an in the Tarawih Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is completing the recitation of the Noble Qur'an in the Tarawih prayer a recommended practice (sunnah) or what?
Answer:
Yes, it is recommended that one completes the Qur'an in the Tarawih prayer and finishes it at the end of the month, whether he is praying alone or leading the people in prayer. It is recommended for him to recite the entire Qur'an and divide it among the nights, as the Salaf (the earliest generations) used to do, in order to obtain the reward of reciting the entire Qur'an.
And do not be lazy like some people who are lazy about reading the entire Qur'an in Ramadan and in the tarawih prayers; they are lazy about this. They should seek the reward, and also, they should not deprive those behind them of hearing the entire Qur'an, from its beginning to its end. The one who does not have the capacity should step down from leading the prayer for someone else. Muslims need these things in Ramadan. Ahh. He should not stand in their way.
And the imam should be moderate in his recitation; he should not burden himself with tajwid, elongation, nasalization, and other such things to the extent that it takes him a long time and becomes difficult for him. He should be moderate in his recitation and not make it difficult for himself, so that he can complete the entire Qur'an. As for making it difficult for himself with elongation and the rules of tajwid, then stopping and being unable to complete the Qur'an, that is an excessive effort for which Allah has not sent down any authority. Yes.
