One intention for twenty Rakaats Taraweeh Salaah
Question
AsalaamuAlaikum I’d like clarity on ladies performing the taraweeh salaah at home please….can we make a single niyyat for 20 rakaats of taraweeh salaah or do we need to make a niyyat at the beginning of every 2 rakaats taraweeh ? JazakAllah khair
Answer
It is not necessary to make an intention for every two Rakaats of Taraweeh Salaah. The intention at the beginning of the Taraweeh Salaah is sufficient. (Al-Bahrur-Raa’iq 1/294)
This applies to both males and females.
