Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) always perform Witr, or only sometimes?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never left the Witr prayer or the two Rak'ahs of Fajr. He never left them, whether resident or traveling. It is not reported that he left the Witr prayer even once, or left the two Rak'ahs of Fajr. Rather, he was consistent in performing the Witr prayer and the two Rak'ahs of Fajr, both while traveling and while resident.
