Permissibility for praying live-streamed
This year our mosques are open for tarawih, and it is the sunnah to pray the tarawih in congregation. Anyone who is able to and wants to should pray in the masjid.
However, as we still have exceptional circumstances, with a global pandemic that has already claimed millions of lives worldwide, people are still vulnerable and susceptible to catching the virus and spreading the virus.
If anyone finds the prospect of attending tarawih in the masjid difficult, for instance they are worried that they may fall sick, or that they may spread the virus to others, or that they are otherwise unable to go to the masjid, they have the option to follow the tarawih online.
Undoubtedly it is preferable to pray tarawih in the masjid. There is more reward and it is the sunnah. However, as it is a sunnah salah, not a fard, there is some flexibility on this matter. The Prophet (peace be on him) used to pray sunnah on his camel sometimes, but never the fard.
Therefore, it is permissible in my opinion and that of many renowned scholars to follow a livestreamed sunnah salah, but not the fard. Other scholars disagree with this, and I respect their opinion.
