Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Our imam in Ramadan connects his recitation in the tarawih prayer with his recitation in the loud prayers in order to complete the Qur'an, and he carries the mushaf in the obligatory prayer. What is the ruling on his action?
Answer:
This is due to laziness. Their laziness has reached the point where they count the recitation of the obligatory prayer as part of the tarawih recitation. In fact, they count their recitation while sitting as part of the night prayer as well. This is due to ignorance and laziness. There is no power and no strength except with Allah.
They have introduced many innovations in the tarawih prayer and in the tahajjud in Ramadan. They have introduced many innovations in them, resulting either from ignorance and arrogance, or from laziness and lethargy. It is obligatory for these people either to fear Allah and adhere to the tarawih and tahajjud prayers as the Muslims in this land and elsewhere used to do, or to leave leading the mosques and not to mess with the prayer, thereby depriving the worshippers of the reward and recompense in these nights. They should fear Allah the Exalted and fulfill the trust they have taken on, or leave it to others.
