Is it valid to perform voluntary prayer with three rak'ahs?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : And secondly, does one perform voluntary prayer with one? I meant three. The well-known view in the school of jurisprudence is that it is permissible to perform voluntary prayer with three, and also with one, with two, and with four.

Answer : But the correct view is that performing voluntary prayer with witr is not prescribed, so it does not follow the command of Allah and His Messenger, and thus it is rejected.
