Question:
What is the standard between the prayer of those who shorten it and the prayer of those who lengthen it?
Answer:
The one who shortens the prayer is the one who does not complete his bowing or settle in it. Shortening means a lack of settling; it is when one bows and prostrates in haste.
Lengthening is that which burdens the people, where one lengthens it greatly until it becomes burdensome for them. No, but if he is alone, there is no harm.
Q: What is the principle regarding Tarawih?
A: The middle way. He does not shorten it, nor does he lengthen it to the point of burdening the people. The middle way; he settles in his prayer but does not lengthen it to the point of burdening the people.
