QUESTION:
As Salaamu Alaikum,
Is there anything wrong with performing salaah with speed in Taraweeh and out of Taraweeh? What was the manner of the An Nabee (S.A.S) salaah?
ANSWER:
Wa Alaikum As Salaam,
Yes, there is a problem performing Salah with speed, whether Taraweeh or other Salah. Salah is a great act of Ibadah (worship) in which one converses with Allah. Therefore, one must be mindful of all his actions in Salah. This includes all the postures like standing (Qiyam), Ruku (bowing), Sujud (prostration), the tasbeeh of Ruku and Sujood, and one’s recitation of Quran in Salah. The Prophet (S.A.S) used to take his time and do everything with ease and gracefulness.
Therefore, one can read in such a manner where he fulfill the rules of reciting the Quran properly and also does not do it with speed, while leaving out the proper etiquettes of Salah and recitation.
And Allah Knows best
