Fatwa #185212 January 2001Pakistan

Say if 2 rakat taraweeh in Ramadan are under progression, can we stand in the jamat with the niyah of reading isha 4 fards first, if thats not been read as yet?

Question

Then when they finish the 2 rakats, we get up and finish off the 4 fards? I asking because some brothers told me to get the jamah reward, one can do this? Jazak Allah Khairun.

Answer

According to the Hanafi school of thought, the position of the Imaam's
Salaah must be stronger than or equal to the Muqtadi's (follower's) Salaah.
Taraaweeh Salaah is sunnah and Esha Salaah is Fardh. In view of the above
principle, it is incorrect to perform Esha Salaah behind a person performing
Taraaweeh Salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best,

Mufti E. Desai
