Tarawih Prayer: Four Rak'ahs with the Imam

Question
As the general public, when the Imam prays four consecutive Rak'ahs of Tarawih with a single Tasleem, we do not know the ruling. Is there anything we should be concerned about?
Answer

I say, and with Allah's guidance: It is permissible to pray four Rak'ahs consecutively, but it is disliked for the sake of etiquette, and it is contrary to the tradition. We should inform the Imams about this, and Allah knows best.
