Which is better: Tarawih prayer in the mosque, or the nightly prayer of David (peace be upon him), or performing Qiyam al-Layl all night, especially with the spread of the coronavirus?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Tarawih prayer in the mosque is a Sunnah and is better than praying it individually at home, due to the practice of the Companions. However, if there is a fear of harm from the spread of an epidemic, there is no harm in praying it at home. It is hoped that the one praying will receive the reward of praying it in the mosque due to their intention. And there is no harm upon whoever emulates those who believe that praying individually is better.
