Summary
The call as-salatu jami'ah is not part of the procedure for Tarawih, Witr or Eid prayers. It is established in hadith for the eclipse prayer, where people needed to be gathered once an eclipse occurred. When the congregation has already assembled, as with Tarawih, Witr and Eid prayers, the call is not needed. The imam simply stands and says the opening takbir, and may inform the congregation of the type of prayer to be performed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Imam hanya perlu berdiri dan bertakbir untuk solat. Imam boleh memaklumkan kepada makmum jenis solat yang hendak ditunaikan.
