Question:
A questioner says: If I pray two rak'ahs, then say the taslim, then pray two rak'ahs, then say the taslim, then pray two rak'ahs, then say the taslim, then pray three rak'ahs in succession, does this act count as witr with nine rak'ahs or with three rak'ahs?
Answer:
This is witr, but it includes a taslim after every two rak'ahs. It combines both matters: the taslim and the continuous recitation. All of this is permissible. Yes.
