The ruling on the mosque congregation agreeing to lengthen the Tarawih prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If the mosque congregation agrees to lengthen the Tarawih prayer, is it permissible for the imam to lengthen it?
Answer:
It is impossible for them to all agree, because there will inevitably be some among them who differ, since people's circumstances vary—some are ill, some are elderly, and some have work and needs. It is not far-fetched to say that they cannot all agree as a group. Yes, the best course is to take the middle path. Yes.
