There is no harm in reciting the Qur’an during Qiyām al-Ramadan (Tarawih) by looking into the Mushaf.
➤ This practice is permissible and supported by narration from Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, in which:
The freed slave of ʿĀʾishah (رضي الله عنها), Dhakwān, used to lead her in prayer during Ramadan by reading from the Mushaf.
