Holding the Qur'an in Tarawih Prayers

Question :

What is the ruling on the Imam holding the Qur'an when praying Tarawih? And what is the evidence for this from the Book (of Allah) and the Sunnah?

Answer:

There is no objection to reciting the Qur'an from the Book during the night prayer in Ramadhan, because this enables those being led in prayer to hear the whole Qur'an. Because the Islamic evidences from the Book and the Sunnah prove the lawfulness of reciting the Qur'an in prayer and that includes reading from the Book and reciting by heart; and it has been authentically reported from 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, that she ordered her servant, Thakwan to lead her in the night prayer in Ramadhan and he read from the Book - this was reported by Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) in his Sahih in disconnected form, in a manner that expresses he was certain of its authenticity.
