The Manner of Recitation in the Tarawih Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: Does one recite from the long surahs or the short surahs in the Tarawih prayer?
Answer: It is better for the imam to consider the ma'mum (those praying behind him) and not to prolong the prayer for them. He should recite from the beginning of the Qur'an and continue until he completes it at the end of the month. If he recites from the short surahs, there is nothing wrong with it. He should recite what they can bear and what does not burden them. If he sometimes recites part of the long surahs and does not complete them, but divides them over two rak'ahs or more, all of this is good. The point is that he recites what is suitable for them, does not burden them, and achieves the benefit. If he recites from the beginning of the Qur'an until he completes it, that is the best. He starts with al-Fatihah, then al-Baqarah, and so on until he completes the Qur'an at the end of the month. This is the best, provided he observes tartil (measured recitation), does not rush, and clarifies the recitation so that the worshippers benefit and reflect and understand. Yes.
