Pearl of Wisdom

One of his servants became sick so we went to visit him as a group of the servants of Ja'far. We met Ja'far (AS) on the way, and he asked, 'Where are you going?' We replied, 'We are going to so and so to visit him.' He said, 'Stop.', so we stopped, and he asked, 'Does any of you have an apple or a quince, or a citron, or some perfume or a piece of sandalwood?!' We said, 'No, we do no have any of these?' He said, 'Do you not know that the sick man is comforted by anything that is brought for him.'

Question : #105 Category: Shia Sunni Dialogue
Subject: Shia view on Taraweeh
Question: what is the Shia view on teravi? Is it considered haram to participate in teravim or is it just not recommended?
Answer: Salaam alaykum,

It is considered an innovation and therefore it is haram to participate in it. One is not allowed to make up acts of worship; rather, he must follow the prescription provided by Allah through the Prophet (s) and the Ahl al-Bayt (a).

Fi amanillah
