How many rakats? What to recite? Women at home or mosque?
How Many: 8 or 20?
Both authentic. 8+3 (Prophet’s ﷺ practice — Bukhari). 20+3 (Umar organized companions — Muwatta). Quality over numbers.
How to Pray (Steps)
- Isha first
- Intend 2 rakats at a time
- Recite Fatihah + surah
- Rest every 4

Mosque or home — both fine. No guilt either way.
