Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for the imam in the tarawih prayer, if he wants to complete the recitation of the Qur'an, to read in the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers and in the tarawih prayer, and then complete the Qur'an? Or is it...
Answer:
This is the action of the lazy. This is the action of the lazy. The Qur'an is read in the tarawih prayer; it is divided among the nights from the beginning of the month to the end, and the portions are balanced so that it is completed at the end of the month. One does not count his reading in the obligatory prayers, or some people count their reading while sitting in the mosque or in their homes. All of this is from laziness. All of this is from weakness and lack of concern for the tarawih prayer and keeping it alive by reciting the Qur'an from its beginning to its end. Yes.
