The ruling on performing Witr with three consecutive rak'ahs, and the prescribed recitation in the Witr prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the recommended practice in Witr, is it to recite Surah al-A'la, Surah al-Kafirun, and Surah al-Ikhlas, if the Witr is performed with three consecutive rak'ahs?

Answer:
It is better not to perform it with three consecutive rak'ahs; rather, one should say the taslim after the odd number, then stand up for the Witr. As for the surahs, one recites in the first of the odd number
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
[Al-A'la 87:1]
, and recites in the second, "Say, O you disbelievers," and recites in the third, "Say, He is Allah, One." Yes.
