Ruling on Reciting {Say: He is Allah, the One} Between the Rak'ahs of Tarawih
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener (S. H. N.) from the Arab Republic of Egypt sent a message containing a collection of questions, stating: He noticed that their imam in the tarawih prayer, between every four rak'ahs, recites the surah[Al-Ikhlas 112:1] three times in a collective manner. Is this practice prescribed?
Answer:
No, this is a religious innovation (bid'ah); it is not permissible. As for taking a brief rest after... two taslims... a short rest is fine. However, reciting[Al-Ikhlas 112:1] or anything else collectively or individually, or reciting it aloud, is a religious innovation (bid'ah). One should sit to rest and then stand up, without introducing an innovation, whether by reciting [Al-Ikhlas 112:1] or anything else, or by performing specific collective acts or reciting them aloud to inform the people without evidence.
Therefore, the conclusion is that he only sits to rest and then stands up if he wishes. As for reciting[Al-Ikhlas 112:1] collectively, or reciting other surahs, or some hadiths collectively, or dhikr collectively, this has no basis. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
