Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes. May Allah reward you and bless your knowledge. May Allah tire you in the service of Islam and the Muslims. This questioner says, may Allah reward you: Is it obligatory to recite al-Fatihah in every rak'ah of the tarawih prayer?

Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for the imam to recite al-Fatihah in every rak'ah, whether in the obligatory prayer or the voluntary prayer, such as tarawih and others. The disagreement is only regarding the ma'mum: whether he recites it or not. As for the imam, he must recite it in every rak'ah. Likewise, the one praying alone must recite it in every rak'ah of his prayers, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
There is no Salat for the one who does not recite Fatihatil-Kitab.لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بفاتحة الكتاب
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 247Sahih (Darussalam)
