Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says, may Allah preserve you: The night prayer is prayed in sets of two. If a person prays four rak'ahs with a single taslim and then prays witr,
Answer:
This does not occur except in the witr. The night prayer is prayed in pairs of two, so one does not pray four rak'ahs with a single taslim. Rather, one prays five, seven, or nine rak'ahs with a single taslim, even though it is of the category of witr, and there is no harm in that. As for the tahajjud, it is two rak'ahs, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 1319Sahih (Darussalam). Yes.
