Answer

Taraweeh is a sunnah mu'akkadah (emphasized sunnah). The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever stands (in prayer) in Ramadaan with faith and hoping for reward, his past sins will be forgiven." If one habitually leaves out taraweeh without a valid reason, they will be blameworthy, though not to the extent of leaving a fardh (compulsory act) — but they will be missing out on a huge reward.
