To understand the debate, one must first revisit the practice of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Authentic narrations in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim confirm that the Prophet led his companions in night prayers (Qiyam al-Layl) during Ramadan for three nights, deliberately not continuing on the fourth night for fear that these prayers might become obligatory upon his community. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), when asked about the Prophet’s night prayer, famously replied, “He would pray eleven rakats” (Sahih al-Bukhari). This narration is the cornerstone for those who advocate for 8 or 11 rakats (8 Taraweeh + 3 Witr). For this group, the Prophet’s personal, consistent practice represents the sunnah in its purest, most unadulterated form, and they argue that adding more rakats constitutes an unwarranted innovation (bid'ah).
