The Ruling on Praying Tarawih Alone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Hassan Sa'id from Dammam, Dhahran: I work in a commercial complex consisting of a gas station, a grocery store, and a kiosk. He says: There is a small mosque next to us, and they do not pray Tarawih in it. After the 'Isha' prayer, they go to their jobs. What should I do? Should I pray Tarawih alone after the 'Isha' prayer? And is there any guidance?
Answer:
You have a choice. If you pray alone, you will be rewarded, or if you pray in your home, that is all good, as long as there is no congregation. And if you go to another mosque, there is nothing wrong with it; because Tarawih is a voluntary prayer, it is not an obligatory prayer. If you pray it in the mosque, or in your home, or in another mosque, it is all permissible, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah preserve you, O honorable Shaykh.
