ANSWER: If their prayers are considered invalid due to the speed in bowing and prostration, so not pray behind them. Otherwise, pray and then continue to pray in your home after that to win the reward of full night prayer.

ANSWER: There’s no such thing as Khatam in taraweeh where you have to finish the whole Qur’an during taraweeh prayers. If the people do it, this is recommended but it is not a must.

Here in India we don’t have masjids for women.Can I lead my female cousins etc for taraweeh (reading from the mushaf) in our house, as my mother and I live alone?I have male cousins and uncles, but I don’t think they’d be willing to lead us all, and they may go for taraweeh themselves.

ANSWER: No problem in you leading by looking in the mushaf providing there are no male non mahram around. You must stand in the same row and not in front like a male imam.
