Waiting to join until Ruku:
- We should not purposely delay joining the congregational prayer (Jamat or Jamaa'ah). If you want to take a break from the Taraweeh due to fatigue i.e. for 2 rak'ahs, you should leave the prayer hall and return when you are ready to join without any delay.
- Also you should not run or rush to the prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "If salaat is started, do not approach it running, but approach it walking, with calmness. Whatever you catch up with, pray, and what you miss, complete it." (Narrated by Al-Bukhari Fath 2/390)

Biryani Burp:
- We should abstain from overeating at Iftaar/dinner. Allaah says: "and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allaah) likes not Al‑Musrifoon (those who waste by extravagance)” [al-A’raaf 7:31] Also the Prophet (PBUH) said: The son of Adam does not fill any vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to eat a few mouthfuls, to keep him going. If he must do that (fill his stomach), then let him fill one third with food, one third with drink and one third with air.” al-Tirmidhi (2380)
- This will make it difficult for us to pray Taraweeh and stand for a long time in prayer. Many of the foods we eat may cause us to have gas in our stomachs, which will make us pass wind or burp, neither of which should be done while praying. Burping is inappropriate (but does not invalidate the prayer) and passing wind invalidates the prayer.
- Furthermore, we should clean and freshen our mouths after Iftaar/dinner so our breath does not smell bad and bother others while praying Taraweeh. The Prophet (PBUH) said: Were it not for the fact that I did not want to make things too hard for my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the siwaak at every time of prayer.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (838) and Muslim (370).
- Al-Bukhaari (806) and Muslim (870) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whoever has eaten of this plant (i.e., garlic), let him not approach our mosque.” And he (PBUH) said: “Whoever has eaten of this plant let him not approach our mosque and annoy us with the smell of garlic.” Narrated by Maalik in al-Muwatta’ (27).
