Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: We ask the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) to direct a word to some of the imams regarding the significant shortening of the Tarawih prayer, where for some, the Maghrib prayer is longer than the Tarawih prayer. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to be careless with the prayer, whether it is voluntary or obligatory. Tranquility is required in the pillars of the prayer. Tranquility is required. Tranquility is one of the pillars of the prayer. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the man who prays badly and does not attain tranquility to repeat the prayer. Several times. So it is not permissible to neglect tranquility and say, "This is Tarawih" or "This is a voluntary prayer." The voluntary prayer is like the obligatory prayer; tranquility is a condition for it, and it is one of its pillars. If one neglects it, his prayer is not valid, whether it is voluntary or obligatory. Yes.
The presenter:
The questions have ended, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
