The Ruling on the Tarawih Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Who holds that the tarawih prayer is obligatory?

Answer:
No one says it is obligatory, because the disagreement is only about the witr prayer. The disagreement is about the witr, and the correct view is that it is a recommended practice (sunnah), even the witr is a recommended practice. The obligatory prayers are the five daily prayers. Yes.
