Is it authentic that he (peace and blessings be upon him) or some of his Companions combined al-Shaf' and al-Witr with a single tashahhud in the tarawih prayer?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it authentic that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or some of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) combined al-Shaf' and al-Witr with a single tashahhud in the tarawih prayer?

Answer:
Yes, they mentioned that there is no harm in combining the seven rak'ahs and the witr with a single taslim, but one should not sit for the first tashahhud, likening it to the Maghrib prayer. There is a prohibition in the hadith against this: "Do not liken it to the Maghrib." So if one combines the three without sitting between them, there is no harm in that. However, the better and more complete option is to conclude with two taslims. Yes.
