Summary
Performing tarawih at home in congregation with family is permissible, and praying in congregation is more virtuous than praying alone. The time runs from after the Isha prayer until dawn, it is led by an adult male, and it may be 8 or 20 rakaat with a salam after every two rakaat. The witir prayer is then also performed in congregation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, tidak ada masalah untuk seseorang itu melakukan solat tarawih secara berjemaah di rumahnya bersama keluarga.
