Is it permissible for the one being led in prayer (ma'mum) to recite behind the imam in the Tarawih (Tahajjud) prayer during Ramadan if the imam's recitation is not audible, and what should the one being led in prayer recite if recitation is permissible for him?
Tarawih and Tahajjud prayers in are to be recited audibly. If the Imam prays silently, it is permissible for the congregant to recite silently, as long as it does not disturb others. Tarawih prayer is performed in Ramadan, and congregational prayer is for it. As for al-Layl (Tahajjud), it is performed in Ramadan and outside of it, and congregational prayer is not sunnah for it, but it is permissible. The Imam recites audibly, and the congregant recites silently. There is no specific limit to its length, and it is best for a person to pray as much as they wish. The best is twelve rak'ahs, prayed two by two, with prolonged recitation. One should make Witr the last of their prayers if they pray after Tarawih, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Make the last of your prayers at night Witr."
