The Imam Shortening the Tarawih Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In many mosques, the worshippers ask their imam to shorten the tarawih prayer for them. Is it better for the imam to respond to their request?
Answer:
As far as I know, our imam today is leading the tarawih prayer. If he is present—and this is rare—and he is not asked about it, meaning, whoever leads the people should shorten the prayer, for there are the elderly, the sick, and those in need, and he should take their conditions into account. And the one who reads one page in the rak'ah is moderate. Yes. It is not excessive. Yes.
