Islamic Fiqh > Prayer > Supererogatory prayers: rawatib, tarawih, witr and duha > Tarawih and praying on the mount

Updated on 06 October 2026 at 10:50 PM

These sheets from the chapter on supererogatory prayers (tatawwu) examine the worshipper surprised by the iqamah while performing a voluntary prayer, voluntary prayer on a mount in travel or residence, mounted or on foot, and then the tarawih and witr prayers: their status, number of rak'ahs, times, and congregational performance. Each question is presented with the positions of the 4 schools, their Quranic and prophetic proofs, and the classical references supporting them.
