Completing the Recitation of the Qur'an in Tarawih and Reciting It in the Obligatory Prayers with Audible Recitation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: The scholars have stated that it is recommended for the imam in Ramadan to have the worshippers hear the entire Qur'an, and this is burdensome for some imams. So if this is limited to Tarawih and Qiyam only, is it permissible for them to recite the Qur'an from its beginning in the obligatory prayers with audible recitation, then recite from it in Tarawih, and so on?
Answer:
O my brothers, the one who is unable to recite the Qur'an in Tarawih from the beginning of the month to the end should not buy water; leave the imam alone, and let it be for those who are able. As for incorporating the prayers with audible recitation into Tarawih, such that he recites from the Qur'an in them until he completes it, this is something the Salaf did not do, and it is not established. We do not establish anything on our own. The Qur'an is recited in its entirety in Tarawih from the first night to the last night; it is good to complete it on the last night of Tarawih. The recitation of the obligatory prayers is a separate recitation. As for the one who is unable to complete the recitation of the Qur'an in Tarawih in the prayer of Tahajjud, he should not persist; he does not pray a single prayer without it falling short. He should turn to another imam who is able to carry this out.
