Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The number of Rak’ahs for Tarawih is because the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not prescribe a specific number of Rak’ahs for Tarawih prayers, allowing for different ways of performing it. The practice of praying in sets of\u00a0four Rak’ahs\u00a0is one of the methods that is accepted within Hanafi jurisprudence. There is no fixed requirement in the Hanafi school, and the option to perform\u00a0Tarawih in sets of two or four Rak’ahs\u00a0is provided, if the prayers are completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The\u00a0Hanafi school of thought\u00a0allows the performance of\u00a0Tarawih in sets of four Rak’ahs. The number of Rak’ahs is flexible, the sets of four Rak’ahs are an established and valid method in the Hanafi school of thought. Therefore, praying\u00a0Tarawih in sets of four Rak’ahs\u00a0is fully in accordance with Hanafi Fiqh, and there is no objection to this practice in the school\u2019s teachings.<\/span><\/p>\n
