Question Summary:
Jamaat of Taraweeh Salat

Question Detail:

 
We know that taraweeh salat is sunnate muakkadah. But what about the jamaat for this prayer? Is it sunnate gaer muakkadah, or sunnate muakkadah, or something else?

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
Taraweeh Salaah is Sunnah Mu’akkadah for every individual male and female.[1]
 
It is Sunnah Alal Kifayah to perform Taraweeh Salaah in the Musjid of one’s locality with Jama’ah (congregation). Sunnah Alal Kifayah refers to that Sunnah which if not fulfilled by anyone of the locality, then every individual will be sinful for not carrying out the Sunnah.[2]
 
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
