The Manner of the Witr Prayer

Question:
Your father, Allah, says: I only take the food after the rak'ah, without the sunnah or… liver. Is there anything indicating this? And sometimes he decides on thousands in the lower parts.

Answer:
The rak'ah is the minimum for the witr; it suffices for the witr. However, it is better that you pray at least two rak'ahs before it, making it an odd number. The best is that you conclude the two rak'ahs with a salam, then stand up and complete the third rak'ah and conclude with a salam; that is, three rak'ahs with two salams. This is the best. If you combine them with one salam, it is permissible. If you combine them with one salam and recite them consecutively as three, concluding with a salam at the end, that is permissible, but the two salams are more complete and better. The minimum for the witr is one rak'ah, the lowest level of perfection is three, and the highest level of perfection is what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did: thirteen or eleven rak'ahs. Yes.
