Is it permissible to repeatedly recite the same Quranic surahs in Tarawih prayer due to not having memorized many surahs?
There is no harm in re-reading the same in Tarawih prayer or other prayers, such as reading a surah in the first raka'ah and repeating it in the second raka'ah, due to the generality of Allah’s saying: (So recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur’an), and because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recited "If the earth is shaken" in both rak'ahs. Similarly, there is no harm in repeating the same surah or a single verse within a single raka'ah, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood (in prayer) repeating a verse until morning, and he approved the man who was repeating "Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad" (Say: He is Allah, [Who is] One) in his prayer.
