The Ruling on Making the Witr Even After the Imam's Taslim in Tarawih
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, when the imam completes the witr and says the salam, stand up and complete the prayer with an even number of rak'ahs, so that they pray in their homes?
Answer:
If he completes it with an even number, there is no blame on him. He should pray the witr at the end of the night, and there is no harm in that. If he leaves the seven rak'ahs and prays with the imam, that is good, if Allah wills. He should pray whatever is easy for him at night without a witr, and pray whatever is easy for him at the end of the night. There are not two witr prayers in one night.
