Is it permissible to pray Taraaweeh at home?

Is it permissible to pray Taraaweeh at home? Is it permissible to pray
it withone's wife, with the husband as the imam?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Taraaweeh prayer is Sunnah mu'akkadah (a confirmed Sunnah) which the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) encouraged when he
said: "Whoever prays at night in Ramadaan out of faith and the hope of
reward, his previous sins will be forgiven." Narrated by al-Bukhaari,
37; Muslim, 759.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) led his
companions in praying Taraaweeh for several nights, then he feared
that it may be made obligatory for them, so hedid not go out to them.
Then 'Umar united the people under one imam, and it has been prayed in
congregation ever since. Itwas narrated that Ismaa'eel ibn Ziyaad
said: 'Ali passed by the mosques in which there were lamps during the
month of Ramadaan and said, 'May Allaah illuminate 'Umar's grave for
him as he illuminated our mosques for us." Narrated by al-Athram,
quoted in al-Mughni, 1/457.
Al-Bahooti said in Daqaa'iq Uli al-Nuha, 1/2245:
It is better to pray Taraaweeh in the mosquethan at home, because the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gathered the
people to pray Taraaweehfor three consecutive nights, as was narrated
by'Aa'ishah… and he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Whoeverprays qiyaam with the imam until he leaves, it will be as if
he spent the whole night in prayer."
Al-Shawkaani said in Nayl al-Awtaar (3/62): Al-Nawawi said: The
scholars are agreed that itis mustahabb, but they differed as to
whether it isbetter to pray it alone at home or in congregation in the
mosque. Al-Shaafa'i and a number of his companions, and Abu Haneefah,
Ahmad, some of the Maalikis and others said that it is better to pray
it in congregation as 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab andthe Sahaabah (may
Allaahbe pleased with him) did and as the Muslims continued to do,
because this is one of the manifestrituals.
So praying it in congregation in the mosque is better, but if a man
prays it on his own at home, or in congregation with his family, that
is permissible.
Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo', 3/526:
Taraaweeh prayer is Sunnah according to scholarly consensus… it is
permissible to pray it alone or in congregation, but which is better?
Thereare two well-known points of view concerning this; the correct
view according to the consensus of the Sahaabah is that it is better
to pray it in congregation.
And Allaah knows best.

Worship on the Night of Power (Laylat al-Qadr)

Question:
Would I have to spendthe entire night at theMasjid until after Fajr
prayer? Could I go late, say around 01:00? Could I go when it begins
and leave around 02:00 and still receive my blessings of forgiveness
from Allah?

Answer:
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
One attains unto the reward of worshipping on the Night of Power
through any worship one does that night. The most important is to
strive onesutmost to perform Isha and Fajr in congregation. After
that, the most important of spiritual actions on that night is sincere
repentance: one should seek to return to ones Lord through makingthe
firm commitment to leave ones state of heedlessness and disobedience
and make the commitment to turn ones heart in the directionof Divine
Pleasure.
And Allah alone gives success.
Wassalam,

whilst fasting in case of need?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Both Ashthma inhalerand nasal spray may be used at Sehri and then at Ift ā r.
As for during fast:
1. Asthma pump is specifically designed to pass the medication through
ones throat. Using theasthma inhaler during fast without any need for
it, will invalidate the fast and a Qadha along with a Kaffarah will
have to be kept for the invalidated fast. However, if the inhaler is
used in case of an asthma attack, then only a Qadha will be wajib
without kaffarah.
2. Nasal Spray is used for the inner lining ofthe nose. It is makruhto
use an inhaler during fast. If the medication from the nasal spray
passes the throat, then the fast is invalidated and a Qadha will have
to be kept alongwith a kaffarah. However, if the spray is used in case
of an attack, then only a Qadha will become wajib without kaffarah.
