Is Namaz e traweeh is farz or sunnat. Without offering this will fast be valid or nullified.

Answer

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullah

Brother/Sister in Islam

Taraweeh Salah is an emphasized Sunnah. It is established from Ahadith and the practice of the Sahaba. The Ummah in every generation upheld Taraweeh and performed Taraweeh with great importance. It is a sin not to perform Taraweeh. The validity of the fast does not depend on performing Taraweeh. However, the value and spirituality of the fast is decreased by not performing Taraweeh.

And Allah Knows Best
