Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He also says that in the Tarawih prayer, some students of knowledge recite Surat al-Baqarah, then Surat al-Nisa, then Surat Ali 'Imran, citing the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as evidence. Is there a basis for presenting Surat al-Nisa before Surat Ali 'Imran?
Answer:
It is not permissible to go against what the Muslim community is accustomed to, because this is an anomaly. You are going against what the Muslim community is accustomed to, and this causes confusion among the people and makes them doubt the reciter, so it is not permissible for him to do this. Yes.
