What Is the Origins and History of Tarawih Prayer
This latest series of Q and A all involve the tarawīḥ prayers.
Q1. There was no 'institutionaized' tarawīḥ prayers in the time of the Prophet (SAW) - so where did this ritual come from? And how was it historically practiced? As well, is there really a genuine controversy over 8 vs 20 rak'ats?
Q2. In light of our current situation of a complete lockdown, is there any leeway to pray behind our regular Imam via a live transmission? After all, surely fiqh needs to accomodate to our currect circumstances? What have modern scholars said?
Q3. What is the permissibility of carrying a muṣḥaf while praying tarawīḥ?
