Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner asks: Is it permissible for three people in the desert, who are isolated from the settlement where the residents live, to pray the tarawih prayer?
Answer : Yes, it is permissible for those who do not have a mosque nearby in which to pray to establish the tarawih prayer, even if they are two, three, or four. In fact, if there is only one person, he may do so, because tarawih is the standing of Ramadan. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 37

In fact, if there is only one person, he may do so, because tarawih is the standing of Ramadan. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever establishes prayers during the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards (not for showing off), all his past sins will be forgiven.
