The Ruling on the Witr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the witr prayer in general, in Ramadan and otherwise?
Answer:
The witr prayer in general is a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never left the witr or the rawatib (regular voluntary prayers) of Fajr. He never left them, whether resident or traveling. So they are two confirmed sunnahs. Some scholars hold that the witr is obligatory. But the majority hold that it is a confirmed sunnah. Yes.
