Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person asks and says: Regarding completing the recitation of the Qur'an in Ramadan during the tarawih prayers, is it obligatory, or should I recite whatever is easy for me?
Answer:
He is the imam. Yes. The imam should have the ma'mum (those praying behind him) hear the entire Qur'an. This is not difficult, and praise be to Allah, if he organizes the recitation from the beginning of the month, it is not difficult for him to complete the Qur'an. He should seek reward from Allah and not deprive the worshippers of hearing the entire Qur'an. Yes.
