Will someone who offered isha + entire taraweeh in congregation, but not witr or fajr in congregation, still get the reward of all night qayam?
If I offered isha prayer and then qayam (taraweeh) behind the imam, but didn't do the witr (though still sat in the masjid), because I want to offer tahajjud at home later, will I still get the reward of the qayam for the entire night?

If I offered isha prayer and then qayam (taraweeh) behind the imam, but didn't do the witr (though still sat in the masjid), because I want to offer tahajjud at home later, will I still get the reward of the qayam for the entire night?
I am confused because I have heard of two hadiths. One according to which, if one offers isha and entire qayam behind imam in congregation, one gets the reward of the whole night's qayam (even if they offer fajr at home - I am a woman). And another hadith according to which, if one offers isha in congregation and fajr in congregation, one gets the reward of praying all night. **So which one is it?**
It's important for me because (a) I am a woman (b) The security situation is not that great where I live (c) the masjid is far.
A quick, clear answer based on authentic hadiths/ quran is highly sought and appreciated, as I have to decide whether I should go to offer fajr in congregation or not?

In our mosque, Imam had been ill for a few days in Ramadan. Then the mosque committee selected me as Imam for only the Taraweeh prayer. No contract were dealt there about money. I just agreed to be a Taraweeh Imam in that mosque. After 27th Taraweeh, afer finishing Quran in Taraweeh prayer, the mosque committee wanted to give me Hadiya. Now **Is taking this hadiya like taking money by reciting Quran in Taraweeh prayer(so it is Haram to take) or this can be treated as general/common/usual hadiya(so it is Halal to take and use)?**

But here it's 21:03, I have checked the prayer times and the last one was more than two hours ago. The call is still going on. It's currently Ramadan, can it be due to that? And what is the content of the call?

Should I pray behind Imam that recites too fast and skips words?
At the place where I live (in my masjid), imam do prayers very fast. To give you an idea we finish Isha prayer + Tarawih + Witr prayer in about 30 minutes.

At the place where I live (in my masjid), imam do prayers very fast. To give you an idea we finish Isha prayer + Tarawih + Witr prayer in about 30 minutes. He's going that fast that he sometimes skips some words in Al Fatiha. Plus there is no space to recite subhaneke so I need to recite it while he recites Al Fatiha.
Two days ago I spoke with him and asked if it's possible to slow it down so I can recite subhaneke. He told me to recite it while he's reciting Al Fatiha and to don't worry because he's taking all responsibilities. He said the reason why he's doing it is that there are 90% old people and they hardly can take a wudu. So it's basically to ease them. The congregation is really small about 20 people at max. What's strange as I know no one complained about it. I said ok and didn't want to argue because of the next reasons:
1. I started to pray about 2 months ago
2. The Imam I'm speaking about knows almost whole Quran, he's a few pages to became hafiz.
3. He's imam over 5 years in this masjid
4. He has an amazing voice and he's able to recite like Arabic is his native language. I listened to his youtube videos (I won't share it here, I don't want to reveal his identity), it's really beautiful and it's really sad that he does not do even close to that on prayers.
**It's not just Taraweeh I have been on other prayers and it's the almost same speed, no way you can recite subhaneke.**
I'm in a big doubt, I just prayed zuhr at home. My second option is going to the main Masjid in my city which is 1.2 kilometers from my home. I decided from now on to go there too Taraweeh. Prayers there are way slower.
**The thing is I don't feel that I will be able to go on most of the prayers there, I'm I doing a mistake if I'm praying at home for the above reasons?**

Please answer quickly since Ramadan is almost over. If you know a sheikh or mufti who can answer this please tell him about this because the prophet said that he who leads others to doing good deeds will get the same amount of merits done by those whom he led to do good deeds

Is praying taraweeh in congregation in the home included in this hadith?
There is a hadith that describes the reward for the one who prays Taraweeh salah in congregation with the imam it will be recorded for him that he prayed the whole night. >Abu Dharr narrated: "We fasted with the Prophet, so he did not pray (the night prayer) with us until seven (nights) of the month...
There is a hadith that describes the reward for the one who prays Taraweeh salah in congregation with the imam it will be recorded for him that he prayed the whole night.
>Abu Dharr narrated: "We fasted with the Prophet, so he did not pray (the night prayer) with us until seven (nights) of the month remained. Then he (pbuh) led us in prayer until a third of the night had gone, then he did not lead us in prayer on the sixth. Then he led us in prayer on the fifth until half of the night had gone. We said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah! Wouldn't you lead us in prayer for the remainder of the night?' **He said: 'Indeed, whoever stands (praying) with the Imam until he finished, then it is recorded for him that he prayed the whole night.**; Then he did not lead us in prayer until three (nights) of the month remained. Then he led us in prayer on the third and he called his family and his women to pray with us until we feared missing the Falah" I (Jubair bin Nufair) said to him: "What is the Falah" He said: "The Suhur."

But is it only in the case of Taraweeh in the mosque? Or does this reward also apply if we pray at home until the imam finishes? I have a problem with passing wind so I fear that I might pass wind in the Taraweeh salah and lose the whole reward. I would like to know what the scholars say about this. As a layman I can just apply my logic that, "Oh, the hadith says about praying with the imam, it doesn't refer to congregation in the mosque so my question is answered." But often the scholars say different things.

As sallamuallay kum, i wanna ask that i have read a hadith which says who ever pray taraweeh behind the imam with complete witra. It is as if he prayed all night. But i wanna know that i pray taraweeh behind the imam and don't pray witra and come back home read quran and watch some islamic lectures and at night about 3-4am just before 30min in suhoor i pray 4 rakkat and 3 rakah witar as i have heard that we should complete our daily prayers with witra as the last. So do i get the same reward as praying taraweeh and witra behind imam ???

Here I wanted to ask about hadith in muwatta imam Malik in which Umar(R.A) ordered Ubayy ibn Kaab and Tamim ad-Dari to lead the prayer in 11 raka'ahs. Ahle hadith use this as evidence while Hanafis sobject to this that this narration is mudtarib due to its other chains. Is there objection valid?
I also wanted to ask that was there consensus of compaanions(r.a) on 20 raka'ahs and is 20 raka'ahs supported through consistent practice as claimed by hanafis?

I couldn't find any resources detailing whether Taraweeh must be prayed in the mosque or not. Is it obligatory to pray Taraweeh in the mosque?
All the resources I found so far give details about the number of rakahs, method of prayer and timing, but not about place of establishment of prayer.
Most hadiths found are compiled here .

How do you pray only one raka (unit) of Witr? I tried to find out how to pray one raka but I didn't find any information online.
So you say the opening supplication and then recite surah al fatiha and then another surah. Then say allahu akbar while raising hand then place right hand over left hand on the chest then recite the Qunoot duaa? After that say allahu akbar and then go to rukku and finish the prayer normally?

How long is the Taraweeh prayer usually?
I know Taraweeh prayer is done after the Isha/evening prayer, but how many rakats is it usually? What separates it from the tahajjud prayer, which is also done at night as well?

Looking and reciting quraan while praying
So during this lockdown, for the taraweeh prayers, we had recited quraan during prayers by looking at it in phone keeping it in a stand by the side and praying. And now i wonder if that is really allowed or is it a sin?

Assalamualaikum Brothers and Sisters,
As an IGCSE Student at this time of the pandemic, I've been flooded with assignments from left to right, and have class at 10 am. I stay up late to read the Qur'an and pray, but I'm afraid that sometimes it may be too late for me to fall asleep and still be able to wake up in time for class. With this being mentioned, if I still want to offer my prayers, would I be allowed to offer just my Witr instead of both the Taraweeh and Witr?
JazakAllah Khair.
