Tarawīḥ

The tarawīḥ prayers are [an emphasized] sunnah for both men and women. They are performed each night in the month of Ramaḍān and consist of twenty rak’āt [performed in sets of two] with ten [sets of] salāms. They are valid only after the ‘Īsha’ prayer [until Fajr], and they may be performed before the witr prayer.

One should [ideally] rest after every four rak’āt for approximately their length [i.e., the length of time taken to perform those four rak’āt].

It is a communal sunnah [kifāyah] for men to pray them in congregation as well as to recite the entire Qur’ān (khatm) [in these prayers, once over the course of the month]. If, however, the lengthy recitation entailed therein is too burdensome for the congregation, the imām should reduce this burden by reciting short sūrahs like al-Kawthar and al-Ikhlās over their entirety.
