What prevents one from continuing with the Tarawih prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Sometimes my shift is from before the 'Isha' prayer until Fajr, and I am unable to pray the Tarawih. How is the standing of the night counted for me?

Answer:
Yes, if you are busy with work and unable to pray the Tarawih, you are excused. The Tarawih prayer is not obligatory, it is not obligatory. So if your intention is that you would pray the Tarawih if that were to happen to you, you are rewarded for your intention, even though you can pray the Tarawih at the end of the night, or in the middle of the night, or after 'Isha'; you can pray it even if it is scattered.
You do not have to pray it all in one continuous session. You can pray it even if it is scattered. If you pray some of it at the beginning of the night, some in the middle of the night, and some at the end of the night, there is nothing wrong with that. So you do what you are able to do. Yes.
