The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In the Witr prayer, in the last rak'ah, is it recommended to recite the Mu'awwidhat in this rak'ah, reciting al-Ikhlas and al-Falaq?
The Shaykh:
Prayer.
The questioner:
In the Witr prayer, in the last rak'ah, is it recommended for him to recite the Mu'awwidhat, reciting al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq, and al-Nas in this rak'ah?
The Shaykh:
Yes. This was reported in a hadith in al-Bulugh. It was reported in al-Bulugh; you will find there that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) recited in the Witr the three surahs: al-Ikhlas, "Say, I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn," and "Say, I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind." However, the majority of scholars hold that one should restrict oneself to the surah al-Ikhlas. Yes.
