Which is better: Tarawih prayer in congregation at the mosque or at home?
Performing Tarawih prayer in congregation at the mosque is better than performing it individually at home. This is indicated by the action of the Prophet (peace be upon him), who prayed it in congregation at the mosque and then left it fearing that it would be made obligatory for his Ummah. It is also indicated by his saying: "Whoever prays with the Imam until he departs, it will be recorded for him as spending the whole night in prayer." Furthermore, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered the people behind one Imam, and there is a consensus among the Companions and scholars on the superiority of performing it in congregation.
