Shafi’ee follower corrects Shafi’ee Imaam in Taraweeh from the Quraan Sharif

· 13 Ramadan 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

The Imaam performing Taraweeh Salaah is Shafi’ee. Some Muqtadis are Hanafi, and some are Shafi’ee. While performing Salaah the Imaam made a mistake and was corrected by a Shafi’ee Muqtadi holding the Quraan in his hand. Does it have any effect on the Hanafi Muqtadi’s Salaah, or is it okay for them to continue?

Answer

The Hanafi Muqtadi’s Salaah will be invalid according to the correct view.

و(وَقِرَاءَتُهُ مِنْ مُصْحَفٍ) يَعْنِي تَفْسُدُ الصَّلَاةُ. وَهَذَا عِنْدَ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ وَقَالَ أَبُو يُوسُفَ وَمُحَمَّدٌ تُكْرَهُ وَلَا تَفْسُدُ صَلَاتُهُ

How many raka'at is taraweeh?

“Twenty Raka’ats of Tarawih is a Sunna Muakkada, and leaving a Sunna Muakkada without a valid reason is prohibited. Therefore, you cannot perform eight or less than twenty Raka’ats, except for a valid reason in Shariah.”
