The Time of the 'Isha' and Tarawih Prayers in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We have a mosque in our area that prays the 'Isha' and tarawih prayers at twelve-thirty, apparently outside the Kingdom. He says: We have a mosque in our area that prays the 'Isha' and tarawih prayers at twelve-thirty; is this correct?
Answer:
This is correct, but it is more convenient for people that the tarawih prayer be performed after the 'Isha' prayer. As for the tahajjud prayer, it is performed in the last part of the night, and this is in the last ten days of Ramadan. As for the first twenty days, one restricts oneself to the tarawih prayer in congregation in the mosques, and it is performed after the 'Isha' prayer. Whoever wishes to perform the tahajjud prayer in the last part of the night, he stands and performs the tahajjud prayer. He prays with the imam until he concludes the prayer to obtain the reward, then he stands up in the last part of the night and performs the tahajjud prayer for as long as is easy for him.
