Opinion of Hanafi Scholars: >Taraweeh 8 or 20< 1) Allamah Ibn Hammaam Hanafi says: “And the conclusion for all this is that the Sunnah Qiyaam (of) Ramadan (Tarawih) is 11 Rakaat with witr in congregation.” [Fathul Qadeer Sharhul Hidaya vol 1 Page 407] and then he goes on and say 20 is sunnah of Khulafa al Rashideen. 2) Allama Mulla Ali Qari Hanafi repeated the same thing that the Sunnah Qiyaam of Ramadan is 11 Rakaat [Mirqaatal Mafateeh 3/382] 3) Imam Tahawi Hanafi says: “Because the prophet (pbuh) has not prayed 20 Rakaah, rather (he prayed) 8 (Rakaah)” [Hasshiyatul Tahtawi Ala Durr Al Mukhtaar Vol 1 Pg 295] 4) Allamah Muhammad Ahsan Nanotvi Deobandi repeated the same [Haashiya Kanzul Daqaiq page 32] 5) Allamah Ibn Najuym Misri Hanafi said that 8 Rakaah is Masnoon [Al- Bahrur Raqaaiq vol 2 Page 67] 6) Allama Khaleel Ahmed Saharanpuri Deobandi Deobandi says that the sunnah muwakkadah of tarawih being 8 Rakaah is agreed upon. [Baraheen e Qaatia page 109,195] 7) Allamah Abdul Shakoor Lakhnavi admits that 8 Rak’ah taraweeh is Masnoon. [Ilm ul Fiqha Page 198] Allama Imam Abdul Hayy Lakhnavi Hanafi writes in his Majmoo’a Fatawa Abdul Hayy vol 1 Page 331,332 that: “the prophet pbuh performed taraweeh in 2 ways. - 20 Rakaahs without Congregation… but its chain of narration is weak - 8 Rakaah with 3 Rakaah witr in Congregation.” 9) Allama Muhaddith Muhammad Anwar Shah Kashmiree Deobandi said, “There is no way out or alternative in accepting that the taraweeh of the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhe wa sallam) was eight (8) rak’ahs (units), and it is not established by any narration he prayed taraweeh and tahajjud separately.” [Urf ash- Shadhee 1/166] Further he states in Faizul Baari 2/420 that Umar ibn Al Khattaab Radhi Allahu Anhu considered taraweeh and tahajjud to be the same. 10) Allama Mohammad Yusuf Binori said in Ma’ariful Sunan vol 5 pg 543 that “thus It is important to accept that the prophet pbuh prayed 8 Rak’ah taraweeh also.” 11) Allama Muhammad Qaasim Nanautwee Hanafi the founder of Deoband writes,“it is written from the people of knowledge that Taraweeh (Qiyaam ul-Ramadhaan) and Tahajjud (Qiyaam ul- Layl) are in reality both One.” [Fuyoodh Qaasamiyyah (p.13) There are many other Hanafi scholars who agree upon eight Rakahs.
