The Ruling on Choosing the Imam in the Tarawih Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The questioner asks: What is better, to pray the tarawih in a neighborhood mosque or in a distant mosque in order to be at ease with the imam's recitation?
Answer:
My brother, it is not a matter of looking only at the recitation; one must look at the perfection of the prayer. Pray with the imam who perfects the prayer, and stay away from the one who does not perfect the prayer, even if his voice is pleasant. The criterion is the one who perfects the prayer, the one behind whom you become humble, the one behind whom you feel at peace, and the one behind whom you perform the prayer as required. That is the objective. Yes.
