The Witr Prayer: Three Rak'ahs with One Taslim or Two
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If one wants to pray the Witr prayer of three rak'ahs, should he pray them with one taslim or two?
Answer:
Not with two. The shaf' and the witr are separate; he performs the shaf' and then performs the witr. If time is short, there is no harm in combining them with one taslim, but he should not sit in the middle of them, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade making them resemble the 'Isha' prayer. He does not sit in the middle; he recites them consecutively.
