Jurisprudence
Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī explains the correct practice of Tarāwīḥ, advising that the prayer should be delayed to the last part of the night and performed in 11 or 13 rakaʿāt. He recommends following the Sunnah rather than praying 20 rakaʿāt, and encourages praying at home if possible.
Prayer
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān explains the virtues and timing of Laylat al-Qadr.

Jurisprudence
Shaykh Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī explains that dividing Tarāwīḥ prayer into two sessions during the last ten nights of Ramaḍān is an innovation. He advises performing Tarāwīḥ early after ʿIshāʾ, following the practice of ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, and avoiding the newly established division.

Jurisprudence
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān clarifies that extending or returning the salām during the Friday khutbah is not permitted, whether verbally or by gesture. If someone greets during the khutbah, the salām should be ignored and not responded to, as the khutbah requires full attention.

Prayer
Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wadi’i explains that women may attend the mosque for Tarawih, but they must be without makeup and perfume. The Prophet ﷺ permitted women to go to the mosque only if they are unadorned and not attractive to others.
Prayer
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that the first Friday athan is legislated and was practiced by the Rightly Guided Caliphs. It was introduced by Caliph ʿUthmān, and though Ibn ʿUmar called it an innovation, scholars clarify it as a good linguistic innovation, not a religious one.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that performing wudū and praying two rakaʿāt as repentance is reported in hadith, but it is not obligatory. Repentance is valid at any time, with or without this prayer, as long as it is sincere.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Ibn Baz explains that saying the repentance phrase seven times brings great forgiveness, especially when the person truly repents. True repentance includes abandoning the sin, feeling remorse, and resolving not to return. Rights of others must also be restored.
Jurisprudence
Shaykh Abdullah al-Adani explains that if a woman is motivated to pray Tarawih at home, it is better. But if she is lazy, praying in the mosque is allowed. Women should not be prevented from attending, yet must follow proper rules like modest dress and avoiding perfume.
