It is not correct to say that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) performed the tahajjud prayer with the congregation in the month of Ramadaan. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) performed Taraaweeh prayers only in congregation during the month of Ramadaan. Bukhari Sharif and other hadith books came to the mosque and prayed with the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) for three days. It was a Tarabeeh prayer in proportion to the sayings of the muhaddithin and Fukbah. Tahajjud is not a prayer. This is why the scholars of Fukbah say that it is makrooh to perform naafil prayers other than Tarabeeh in Ramadan, whether it is Tahajjud or another prayer in congregation. But if there are two without the Imam, then it is permissible. But if there are three, there are differences. If it becomes three without the rest of the Imam, it is Makrooh according to the consensus. So Tarabi's Jamaat Makrooh with more than three persons. And it would be makrooh to perform tahajjud with the congregation by calling it Tada'i. To call together also means to become more than three worshipers. At the same time, reading Jamaat in this way will also be a bidat. What the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his Companions and the Tabi'is did not do, it is bid'ah to consider it as the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). (Fatwa Usmani, 1 / 444-458) The Shiromani Muftis of Deoband have issued a fatwa calling the Jamaat of Tahajjud Makrooh.

- Kitabul Fatawa, 2 / 360-361Shaikhul Islam Sayyid Hussain Ahmad Madani: Why did you read Tahajjud Jamaat? Those who understand Arabic have made it clear from the Arabic text of the Book of Fiqh that the Jamaat of Tahajjud is Makrooh to the Ahnaf. At the same time, all the Muftis of Deoband in Ulama also held the same opinion.The question is, one of the leading scholars of Deoband in the ulama, Shaikhul Islam Sayyid Hussain Ahmad Madani: Why did you perform the congregation of Tahajjud prayers in the month of Ramadan? There are two possible answers:
- Sayyid Hussain Ahmad Madani Nawarullahu Markadahu was a wise Muhaqqiq scholar. In the light of the evidence, it seems to him that reading Tahajjud in Ramadan is proven. So he read. This is a "tafarrud" or personal act of the Prophet. He was a Muhaqqiq scholar, so it should be kept as his personal matter. It is not logical to present documents by this. The rest of the Jama'ah called it Makrooh. So we also consider it Makrooh.
- He read Tahajjud in congregation to explain the importance of Hazrat Tahajjud prayer to his followers. The Sunnah does not think so. 1876651339
