The ruling on gathering for the Tahajjud prayer after the Tarawih prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We have heard someone issue a ruling that it is an innovation (bid'ah) to gather for the Tahajjud prayer in Ramadan after gathering for the Tarawih prayer in the last ten nights, on the grounds that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions did not gather twice in one night.
Answer:
Who told him that? Where did he get that from? That they did not gather? He said they used to gather and pray, and they would hang ropes on the pillars because of the length of their standing behind the imam, and they would not leave except at the time of the suhur, meaning at the pre-dawn meal. Who said that they do not gather in the mosques? This is an ignorant person who does not know, or a fool who does not pray the second part of the night, and he has an excuse. Yes.
