The Criterion for the Length and Shortness of the Tarawih Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the criterion for the length and shortness of the prayer in the Tarawih and Qiyam prayers?

Answer:
It is what does not burden the people and does not harm them. The imam exerts effort and strives to do something that does not burden him in his recitation, his bowing, and his prostration. He strives, he exerts effort, and may Allah grant him success in his endeavor.
