Voluntary Prayer at Night and Day, Two by Two

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. After this, a message reached the program from one of the listening brothers who asks and says: Is it the case that all voluntary prayers, when we pray them, we perform their rak'ahs two by two, or are other forms permissible? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The best, indeed the obligatory, in night prayer is that it be two by two, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Night prayer is two by two, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do so, praying two by two.صلاة الليل مثنى مثنى وكان صلى الله عليه وسلم يفعل ذلك يصلي مثنى مثنى
at night or by day, prayer is two by two. This is what is prescribed. It is only permissible to string together three rak'ahs of the odd-numbered prayer (witr) with a single taslim; this is permissible, to string together three rak'ahs for witr with a single taslim. As for anything other than that, the prayer is two by two, based on the hadith that night prayer is two by two, and in another narration, that night and day prayer is two by two. Yes.
