Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person intends a single intention, prays the post-'Isha' Sunnah and the two rak'ahs of al-Shaf', and then performs Witr with one rak'ah, is his action valid?
Answer:
No, what he performed with al-Shaf' is considered only a rawatib (regular voluntary prayer), and the rawatib does not take the place of al-Shaf'. Al-Shaf' is one thing, and the rawatib is another. Yes.
