The Ruling on Witr, the Number of Its Rak'ahs, and Qunut in It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Before he prays three rak'ahs, and this is the wealthy one, yes. Does he pray three rak'ahs, and this is the wealthy one in Ramadan, three rak'ahs in the timing of the correct one, and what is the red one in the timing, meaning Ramadan, in the time of prayer?
Answer:
The minimum for witr is one rak'ah. The lower limit of perfection is three, and the upper limit of perfection is eleven or thirteen rak'ahs. If one prays witr with three rak'ahs, the best is to say the taslim after the first two rak'ahs and then perform the witr rak'ah alone; this is the best. If he combines them with a single taslim, it is permissible, but he should not sit for the first tashahhud; rather, he should recite the three rak'ahs consecutively without sitting, except for the final tashahhud. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade making witr resemble the Maghrib prayer. In the Maghrib prayer, one prays three rak'ahs with a single taslim and a single sitting, which is the final one only. As for qunut in witr, it is recommended (mustahabb), not obligatory.
Qunut in witr, which is the supplication after the ruku', is recommended (mustahabb) and not obligatory. If he leaves it out, his witr is valid. Qunut is among the sunnahs of witr.
