What is your advice for those who do not complete the tarawih with the imam of the Haram and are content with eleven rak'ahs?

Question:
And is there any advice for those who do not pray the tarawih with the imam of the Haram, where they are content with eleven rak'ahs?

Answer:
They have deprived themselves of the reward. It is obligatory for the Muslim to pray with the Muslims as long as the Muslims are praying, so he does not separate from them and deprive himself of the reward. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Indeed, whoever stands (praying) with the Imam until he finished, then it is recorded for him that he prayed the whole night.من قام مع الإمام حتى ينصرف كتب له قيام ليلة،
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 806Sahih (Darussalam)
So if you want the standing of a complete night to be recorded for you, you pray with the imam until he finishes. And if you finish before him, you have deprived yourself of this great reward.
