Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you. Upon you be peace. The sister questioner says: If a person, or a woman, O Shaykh, prays the Tarawih prayer with the Isha prayer, and then prays the rest of the Tarawih before the Fajr prayer, dividing it into two parts, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is better. If a person attends the mosque, he should not leave until the imam finishes completely, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 806Sahih (Darussalam) Does not a person deprive himself of good while he is able to do it? As for her practice, there is nothing wrong with it, meaning that she prays half of the Tarawih with the imam and leaves the rest for the end of the night; there is no harm in that. But it is better that she not leave until the imam finishes, so that she attains the reward of standing in prayer for the entire night.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah. Is there anything else? Are there any remaining questions? Do the Tarawih at home, not with...
The Shaykh : She says that she prays the Tarawih at home, O Shaykh, the woman. There is no obstacle. For a woman, her home is better for her, meaning that if she stays in her home and prays the Tarawih at her own ease, it is better for her than attending the mosque.
The Shaykh : It is better. If a person attends the mosque, he should not leave until the imam finishes completely, because the Prophet (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.
