The Ruling on Dividing the Tarawih Prayer into Two Parts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to divide the tarawih prayer into two parts, half after the 'Isha' prayer, and the other part in the middle of the night?
Answer:
This goes against the practice of both the past and the present. One does not divide the tarawih prayer; rather, it is performed in the early part of the night. If he wishes to pray the tahajjud in the last part of the night, the door is open to him. As for the tarawih, it is performed entirely in the early part of the night. This is the sunnah (recommended practice). Yes.
