How to Perform the Tarawih Prayer
Is the Tarawih prayer performed as four units with one salutation or two units at a time? Because the imam prayed four units in the mosque with one salutation, and said: this is according to the Hanafi school, and the people followed him, saying: the Tarawih prayer is performed two by two, based on the hadith mentioned from the Prophet - peace be upon him - what is your comment on this issue, and what is correct?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The Taraweeh prayer consists of two units of prayer (rak'ahs) at a time according to the Hanafi school of thought, but he sits after the fourth. If he prays the four units with a single salutation, it is disliked, and God knows best.
