20 Rakaats Taraweeh
Question
In my masjid we pray 20 rakaat for tarweeh and then 3 rakaats for witr. I have heard many people say that taraweeh should only be 8 rakat and then 3 rakat for witr. Which of these is the correct sunnah?
Answer
What they have said is incorrect.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
