I was wondering whether or not finishing the whole Quran in taraweeh prayers is something that Umar (r) established? Is it a sunnah?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Many people say that finishing Quran in tarawih is a must for them, and when they do at a mosque they end up reading really fast, and the Quran can’t be understood. I was wondering if finishing the Quran in tarawih was something the sahaba established and was it continued by them.

Answer

The sahaba (RA) used to perform taraweeh salaah in different groups. Umar (RA)
advised them to perform the taraweeh joinly and appointed Ubai(RA) to lead
that congregation. The fuqaha have ruled that it is sunnah to complete the
recitation of the Quran once in taraweeh salaah. ( Hidaya vol 1) Obviously,
in doing so, the etiquettes of reciting the quran correctly must be adhered
to.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best
