Ruling On Separating Between Taraweeh And Tahajjud In The Last Ten Days Of Ramadhan. Questioner: What goes on today O Sheikh during the last ten days, they separate between the Salat Al-Qiyam in the first part of the night and in the last (in other words: The people pray Salat Al-Ishaa at the Masjid, then they pray what they call Taraweeh together, then during the last part of the night they once again meet at the Masjid to pray what they call Qiyam Al-Lail or Tahajjud), and this has become a regular routine ? Al-Imam Al-Albani (Rahimahullah): Bidah. Questioner: How does it, I mean, we want to establish the Sunnah and make things easy on the people, so how do we act ? Al-Imam Al-Albani (Rahimahullah): You think of, as Umar(Radiallahhu Anhu) said: And what they postpone is better, meaning: He ordered Ubai Bin Kab(Radiallahhu Anhu) to establish the Salah Al-Qiyam with the people after the Salah Al-Ishaa, so he did, and when [Umar (Radhiallahu Anhu)] went out . . . he said: And what a good Bidah this is (Meaning: What a good newly established matter this is, i.e. the act of gathering all the people behind one Imam to pray Taraweeh, just as it was done in the time of the Prophet Sallallahu Aleyhi Wasallam), and what they have left due to sleeping is better (i.e. postponing the prayer to the last part of the night is better, wallahu alam) Questioner: Meaning, the situation should stay the same as how it was before the last ten days ? Al-Imam Al-Albani (Rahimahullah): Yes [Silsilah Al-Huda Wal-Nur, 719] Meaning: Al-Imam Al-Albani (Rahimahullahu Taaalaa) is saying that what goes on now is not what took place during the time of the Prophet Sallallahu Aleyhi Wasallam, nor did it take place when Umar (RadhiAllahu Anhu) revived the Sunnah of praying Al-Taraweeh in congregation, so in order to return to the Sunnah, what we should do is remain upon the way we were before the last ten days, and postponing the prayer to the last part of the night is better, but without this separation that goes on now. Wallahu alam walhamdulillahi Rabb Al-Aalamin.
