Question

I am a Haafiz and shall be performing Taraaweeh in the Musjid this year, Insha-Allah. My Ustaadh has instructed me to omit the Durood and Dua after Tashahhud to make it lighter for the musallis. Is it necessary for me to obey this instruction?

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:

“There is no obedience (to anyone in anything) involving sinning against Allah.”
