Jangan Tinggal Solat Sunat Rawatib - Jabatan Mufti Negeri Terengganu
Is it sufficient to perform only Tarawih prayers without the rawatib sunnah prayers such as Ba'diyyah after Isha?
Short answer
Focusing on Tarawih alone while neglecting the rawatib sunnah prayers is considered not quite right.

Summary
Focusing on Tarawih alone while neglecting the rawatib sunnah prayers is considered not quite right. The rawatib prayers, including the Ba'diyyah after Isha, are stated to carry greater reward than Tarawih. This is based on the explanation in the book Bughyat al-Tullab and was endorsed by the Terengganu State Mufti Department.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka perbuatan itu kurang tepat kerana solat sunat rawatib itu lebih besar pahalanya daripada solat terawih.
