Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It happens that some of the imams of the mosques in Ramadan, in the tarawih prayer, pray the tarawih in four rak'ahs, which leads to confusion among the worshippers. Is there a word to be said on this, may Allah grant you success?
Answer:
Four rak'ahs means all together, or every four with two taslims? What is meant by four rak'ahs? The tarawih is two by two, like the night prayer, two by two, but they rest after every two taslims, not after every four all together, no, they rest after every two taslims. Yes.
