Many have recorded a hadith by ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ where he is reported to have said: ![]() Imam Abu Hanifa رحمۃ اللہ علیہ is also of the opinion that taraweeh is Sunnah Mu’akkadah.” “Taraweeh is Sunnah Mu’akkadah for both men and women and this is the correct opinion. Maulana Jameel Ahmed Sakrodhwi, in “Ashraful Hidayah sharh Al-Hidayah” v.2 p.202, explains: This is the prayer which comprises of 20 rak’ah and is offered in sets of 2 rak’ah in Ramadan, after ‘isha salah and before witr. It is important to first understand what taraweeh is. Scholars have written myriad of books on this topic with overwhelming evidence, yet our ghair muqallideen brothers and sisters try to insist that it is 8 rak’ah. The topic of argument is whether taraweeh consists of 20 or 8 rak’ah. With the commencement of Ramadan, the time to argue over matters established by the pious predecessors has arrived once again.
