Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Taraaweeh prayers and Laylat al-Qadar
Is praying Taraweeh in congregation at home included in the hadith “If he prays with the imam until he finishes, it will be counted as spending as if he spent the whole night in prayer”?
16,996Will he attain the reward mentioned in the hadith if he prays half of Taraweeh in one mosque and the other half in another because of his work circumstances?
1.. The reward mentioned in the hadith, “Whoever prays with the imam until he finishes, it will be recorded [as if] he spent the night in prayer”, is attained by praying behind the imam from the beginning of his prayer until he finishes. It cannot be attained by catching up with four rak‘ahs with him only, at the end of his prayer, even if the imam is going to leave after that. 2. But if your work circumstances do not allow you to pray all of Taraweeh in one mosque, then there is the hope that you will have the reward for your intention, accompanied by what you are able to do of actions.5,768Praying Taraaweeh at home/putting cream on the body when fasting

48,556Defining Laylat al-Qadr; is it possible for a person to catch up with Laylat al-Qadr twice in the same Ramadan?
1.. If countries differ with regard to the beginning of the month, then odd-numbered nights in one country will be even-numbered in another, but that does not mean that Laylat al-Qadr will occur on two different nights, such that a person could catch it in his country, then travel to another country and catch up with it again in that country. Rather it is one night. 2.. There is only one scenario in which someone could catch up with the same night twice, such as if Laylat al-Qadr is on the Tuesday night, and he catches up with it or with part of it, then he travels westwards; in that case he could catch it again, because the night begins earlier in the east.23,146They pray Taraweeh and tahajjud in their mosque; how can they finish with the imam?
65,617When Is Laylat al-Qadr?
The odd-numbered nights during the last ten nights of Ramadan are more likely than others, and the night of the 27th is the most likely to be Laylat al-Qadr.320,456Can You Pray Tarawih Alone?
Offering Tarawih prayer in congregation is something that is established by the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).175,342If the imam did not pray Witr and they prayed qiyaam with him until he finished and left, will they be regarded as having spent the night in prayer?
11,100How Many Rak’ahs in Tahajjud
The minimum number of rak`ahs for Tahajjud is two; there is no maximum limit for it. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed tahajjud as eight rak`ahs, then prayed Witr with three rak`ahs.95,032
