1- If the recitation in tarawih prayer is kept short, then the number of rak`ahs is increased to 41 rak`ahs, as some of the imams said. 2- If a person wants to limit himself to eleven rak`ahs or thirteen rak`ahs in tarawih prayer, then he should lengthen the recitation and other essential parts of the prayer.

Tarawih should be prayed in sets of two Rak`ahs, as per the Prophetic instruction: “The night prayers are (prayed) two by two.” The Prophet typically prayed eleven Rak`ahs at night, concluding with Witr. Scholars emphasize following this Sunnah to ensure the proper observance of Tarawih during Ramadan.
