874 When is it appropriate to perform Tharawi and how many Rakats is it?
Tharawi Prayer is Sunnah Muakkadah, and is performed in the month of Ramadan.

The prescribed time of offering Tharawi Prayer begins after Isha Prayer time has started and lasts till the dawn of Fajr. It is generally prayed before the Witr Prayer of Isha Namaz.

It is the belief of the vast majority of Muslims that there are Twenty Rakats of Tharawi Prayer. This is also proved by AHadith.

Muslims in all Islamic countries have been and are offering Twenty Rakats of Tharawi since the time of Ameerul Mumineen Farooque e Azam (R.A).

Twenty Rakats of Tharawi are offered, in pairs of Two Rakats. A break (to sit and rest) after every Four Rakats equal to the period in which four Rakats are offered is, Mustahab (Commendable).
