Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I pray the Witr prayer in three rak'ahs with a single taslim, and sometimes I doubt whether I prayed two or three, so what should I do?
Answer:
As has passed you, if you doubt the number, act on the certainty. If you doubt whether it was two or three, consider it two, and perform the third.
