Haafizahs performing Taraweeh Salaah in jamaat

· 25 Jumada II 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My sister and I are haafizah of the Quraan Shareef. Is there any possibility of me and my sister reciting Quraan in taraweeh salaah for revision purposes? If there is a possibility, then what's the correct method to do this?

Also, if one of us makes a mistake during congregation salaah, can the other one rectify the mistake?

Answer

Revise the Quraan Shareef by reading it to each other, not in jamaat salaah. Apart from that, the fuqaha generally prevent women from reciting the Quraan Shareef loudly in salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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.”
