How to Pray the Shaf' and the Witr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Tell us about the method of praying the shaf' and the witr. Do I pray them together, or what is the method? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The best and preferred method is to pray the two rak'ahs of the shaf' alone, without concluding the prayer, then stand up and perform the witr, which is the odd-numbered prayer. If you pray them all together with one taslim, or if you recite three rak'ahs with one taslim, that is permissible, but it is better to pray the shaf' and the witr with two taslims, as we mentioned.
