Question

Do I say the tasleem in three intervals or every rakah, or do I do it at the end of the taraweeh prayer or say 12 rakahs?

Community Answer

Pray taraweeh in 2 rakaats. For example, on the second rakaat, then give salaams.

Question

I've watched a video in which they said after Tashahud, you recite a dua (of taraweeh) followed by salaam. Reciting Darood Ibrahim isn't mentioned in the video. Is it wrong?

Sobi

Top Answerer

That is not something I have heard of, nor is it the position of any of the schools of thought as far as I am aware. Some scholars take the opinion that Durood Ibrahim (salawat) is sunnah, while others say it is fardh.

Question

Is it permissible for women to say the Taraweeh prayers at home?

Community Answer

100%! You can pray Taraweeh at the mosque, but an advantage is that we get the same reward for praying at home, so go ahead!

Yes you can pray. Witr are mainly the part of Isha so it's best to pray them with Isha.

Question

Is it okay to change dress after taking wudu? Will it nullify wudu if we uncover our head to change to Salah clothes. This is in case of a woman?

Ayisha A. Gill

Community Answer

Yes it's completely okay. No it won't nullify. Uncovering the head has nothing to do with Wudu.

Is there any special duaa to be recited in taraweeh? Especially if you are performing it at home alone, like any duaa at the end?

Question

After every two rakah, we finish the prayer with tasleem; is it mandantory after every tasleem to say anything then start another two rakah?

Sobi

Top Answerer

It is sunnah to recite this du'a after salaam: Allahumma anta al-salam wa minka al-salam tabarakta ya dhal-jalali wa’l-ikram (O Allah, You are the One Who is free from all defects and deficiencies and from You is all peace, blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honour).

Question

What if I take Qur'an itself to recite in taraweeh, because I haven't memorised it?

Sobi

Top Answerer

This is permissible, because Taraweeh is not an obligatory prayer, so reciting from the mushaf is allowed.

Question

On Part 2 Point 10 (sitting on our knees), you mention to recite certain verses, is it necessary? Because we have never heard that we should recite something at that time.

Sobi

Top Answerer

This is not fardh, it is only sunnah to recite these du'as. The Prophet used to recite du'as such as "Rabigh firlee" during this position.
