The Ma'mum Reciting al-Fatihah in the Tarawih Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Some imams, after finishing the recitation of Surat al-Fatihah in the tarawih prayer, continue reciting. I do not know whether the ma'mum should listen or recite Surat al-Fatihah and read?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He recites the benefit.
The Shaykh:
(peace and blessings be upon him), perhaps the stone is behind him. We said, yes. He said, do not do it except with a book stand, for there is no prayer for one who does not recite it. He recites and then sends him.
The questioner:
Even if it is the imam.
The Shaykh:
Or then, meaning.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
He recites it and then listens.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
With the imam, or after him, or before him, all of it.

May Allah reward you.
