Question

I would like to know if u miss a sajdah in the taraweeh salaat, do u have to
repeat the 2rakaats? (Taraweeh in jaamaat) it was realized after the
taraweeh but then there was a difference of opinion between the 2 ulama of
that locality, a day has now passed since that night taraweeh.. So please
can u provide a clear answer for us.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In the enquired situation, the 2 Rakaats Taraweeh did not have to be repeated[1]

Istighfaar should be made for leaving out the Sajdah.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
