Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some mosques hold competitions during the Tarawih prayer, and the winners receive prizes for answering questions. So, what is the ruling?
Answer:
This distracts people from the prayer. These prizes and things are not done during the Tarawih prayer. People should be left to focus on the Tarawih prayer with the imam until he finishes, without distracting them with prizes? This was not known [to be done], and this distracts people from the prayer. Yes.
