Taraweeh at home

Question:

Assalaamu Alaikum

I have only memorised the 30th para of the Holy Quran and was wondering if I could pray Taraweeh at home since the masjid which i attend does not read the entire Quran. Instead pieces from the same surahs are read each night. In addition my dad does not have the time to take me to another masjid where the entire masjid is read.


Answer:

Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

Even though the Masjid which you attend does not read the entire Quran, you should still go to it. In this way, you will get the blessings of Salaah in congregation which is emphasized upon the males. Even if you stay at home, you will not be able to read the entire Quran in Taraweeh.

And Allah knows best,
