Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to pray the Witr prayer as eleven consecutive rak'ahs with only one tashahhud?
Answer:
It is permissible, but it is better to pray the night prayer in pairs, two by two, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and to conclude with a single rak'ah. Yes.
