ANSWER: Of course! If you prayed one Rakah with the imam, after Salam, stand up to offer the second one.

sheikh, is khatam taraweeh an innovation? I mean finishing the Quran through taraweeh or during our prophet’s (saw) time he used to pray such taraweeh? please clarify.

ANSWER: There’s no such thing as Khatam in taraweeh where you have to finish the whole Qur’an during taraweeh prayers. If the people do it, this is recommended but it is not a must.

What intention do we make for taraweeh prayer- that we’re offering sunnah prayer or nafil prayer?

ANSWER: It doesn’t matter what you intend. Just stand for Praying night prayer, Taraweeh is a highly recommended Sunnah.

Here in India we don’t have masjids for women.Can I lead my female cousins etc for taraweeh (reading from the mushaf) in our house, as my mother and I live alone?I have male cousins and uncles, but I don’t think they’d be willing to lead us all, and they may go for taraweeh themselves.

ANSWER: No problem in you leading by looking in the mushaf providing there are no male non mahram around. You must stand in the same row and not in front like a male imam.
