Re: How to perform Taraweeh?
[QUOTE]
Well, the salaat is of 20 rakaat. So you would make 10x2 rakaat. Before each set of 2 you make intention for taraweeh.

The taraweeh salat is not fixed as 20 rakats. Infact, a scholar was explaining that the number of rakats was increased during the Caliphate of Umar RA because reciting a whole juz from the Quran in a lesser number of rakats was causing the people in jamaat to become very tired so it was decided that it would be easier to have 20 rakats.
If you are reading at home then there is not a condition of there being 20 rakats, but yes it should be an even number of rakats and in blocs of 2, not 4. Allah ul Alim.
