Gradual Easing of the Recitation in the Tarawih Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it the Sunnah to proceed gradually in the description of the Tarawih prayer by shortening the recitation on the first night of Ramadan, and shortening it in the first two rak'ahs, then increasing it after that?
Answer:
The Tarawih prayer is balanced; it is not the case that some of it is light and some of it is long, from its beginning to its end, from the beginning of the month to the end of the month. It is balanced throughout the month and in all the nights; it is not the case that some of it is shortened and some of it is lengthened. Yes.
