Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Can We Pray Tahajjud in Congregation

I mean, if you ask me about that, the Hanafi is the chef he is

humble is America is they allow it. But the Hanafi is they

consider it Makuta, creamy to do Jamar in a large congregation,

meaning more than three people with kind of invitation etc, for

Tahajjud prayer. And I see the wisdom in that because if you look

at internal Sudha, Lhasa lorrison, you will hardly find any instances

where tahajjud was done in JAMA, the only novel prayer that was

done or the only non first prayer that was done in JAMA was the

rosary prayer. Right specifically, which we're doing anyway.

And the benefit I see in that is tahajjud is a very private prayer.

It's a very personal prayer. As I said, it's a prayer of love. It's

a prayer we you and Allah subhanaw taala. Right, when it becomes a

gem, it becomes a public thing. Again, it's not the same thing.

That's the way I see the benefit of the 100 fees prohibiting it as

such. So that's my opinion. I know there are many orlimar who do it

and who you know who do it, that's up to them. But I'm, you know, I

see the wisdom in it being a private affair, and not making

everything into a drama. What they generally say is that oh, it's

because people want to listen to the Quran being recited. Right?

Well, the thing is that you've already done that in taraweeh. So

now let them do their own reading in let encourage them to do their

own memorization reading in their own Tahajjud prayer. It's okay if

you do it one or two people, that's completely fine if you

wanted if your half is of the Quran, right and you want to do

the Hajj with somebody else. As a small group as two people that's

completely fine. But as a large group in the Hanafi school is

considered Mahkota halimi, and Allah knows best
