Question
Here in Germany all the Mosques have 8 raka'ts Taraaweeh. What should I do? They say that according to the Maalikis Taraaweeh is 8 raka'ts.
Answer
According to all four Math-habs, Taraaweeh is 20 raka'ts. It is false to claim that according to the Maaliki Math-hab it is 8 raka'ts. The deviant Salafis say that it is 8 raka'ts. Since the age of the Sahaabah, Taraaweeh was always 20 raka'ts. It is compulsory to perform 20 raka'ts. Perform the Fardh of Isha' in the Musjid, and the 20 Taraaweeh at home.
