Is it permissible to perform witr with a single rak'ah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I said, Shaykh, if he prays only one rak'ah, he does not open the prayer.

The Shaykh : He does not commit a sin. That is correct.

The questioner : Well, if I did not pray them.

The Shaykh : No, no, because some scholars said that it is disliked to perform witr with one rak'ah, but that is not correct.
