Forgetfulness in the Witr Prayer: Praying Two Rak'ahs Instead of One
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I intended to pray the Witr prayer as one rak'ah, but I made a mistake and prayed two rak'ahs. I did not remember until before the taslim or after it. What is required of me?
Answer:
Make it an even number and add one rak'ah. The matter is easy. You add one rak'ah and treat what happened as an even number. This is better. Yes.
