What is the ruling on reading the Qur’an and the summarized exegesis found alongside it at the same time during Tarawih prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Reciting from the during Tarawih prayers does not invalidate the prayer and is permissible when needed, such as not having memorized the Quran or long surahs. Dhakwan, the mawla of Aisha, used to lead her in prayer and recite from the Mushaf. This is the correct view because there is no evidence prohibiting it. As for reading (exegesis) during prayer, it is not recommended; it is better to engage one's thoughts and reflect on the meanings, but it does not invalidate the prayer.
