Question

Is it permitted to read taraweeh at home as a non hafiz baligh male? If I read taraweeh at home some nights and at the masjid some nights is this fine, reason being I get tired some days.

Answer

Ensure that the taraweeh is read in jamaat. After all, it is just a matter of one month and you will not get it for the next 11 months. So why waste this opportunity.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
