What is the shar'i ruling on giving a lesson after four rak'ahs of
Taraaweehprayer?.
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to the lesson which some imams and preachers give after
four rak'ahs of Taraaweeh, there is nothing wrong with it in sha
Allaah, but itis better not to do that all the time lest the people
think that it is part of the prayer and lest they think it is
obligatory and denounce the one who does not do it.
The imam, teacher or preacher can draw the people's attention to a few
shar'i rulings, especially those that they need to know in this month
of matters, provided that he does notdo that every time.
Undoubtedly words such as these are more beneficial than going out or
engaging in worldly conversations or raising one's voice, and it is
better than innovated dhikrs that some imams have introduced after
completing four rak'ahs.
Shaykh 'Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen said:
Because people nowadaysmake the prayers short and do it in an hour or
less, there is no need for them to have this rest, because they do not
get tired or find it difficult. But if some imams separate the
rak'ahs of Taraaweeh by sitting or by pausing to catch their breath,
then it is better touse this rest to offer someadvice or give a
reminder,or to read from a useful book, or to give some tafseer
(commentary) on a verse that the imam hasrecited, or to give a
lessonor reminder of an Islamic ruling, so that the people will not
leave or get bored. And Allaah knows best.
