Moderation in Prayer and Considering the Conditions of the Congregation in Tarawih
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh’s position on moderation in prayer, out of concern for the congregation, includes this in the Tarawih prayer.
The Shaykh:
Yes, if this applies to the obligatory prayer, it is even more applicable to the Tarawih prayer. The imam should moderate between lengthening the prayer, which burdens the congregation, and shortening it, which compromises the prayer. The best of matters are their middles.
