Question:
The questioner asks: Does one who prayed with the first imam have the standing of the night recorded for him, or must he complete the prayer with the second imam?
Answer:
The point is completing the tarawih, whether with one imam, ten imams, or two imams. As long as the tarawih are being held, you pray with the people and do not leave until the tarawih are finished. This is what is required, and this is the standing with the imam until he leaves, even if the tarawih are prayed by several imams. It is one prayer, one tarawih, even if the imams are multiple. If you pray with the first one and leave, you have not completed the standing with the imam, and you have not completed the tarawih.
