How to Pray the Witr Prayer in Three Rak'ahs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: If I pray three rak'ahs of witr, should I pray them with one taslim or with two?
Answer:
It is better to pray them with two taslims. One prays two rak'ahs for the shaf', then sits and recites the tashahhud and says the taslim. Then he stands up and performs the witr rak'ah, then sits afterwards and recites the final tashahhud and says the taslim. This is the best. If he prays them consecutively with one taslim without sitting in between, that is also permissible. However, he should not make it resemble the Maghrib prayer by sitting after the first two rak'ahs for the first tashahhud and then standing up. This is prohibited. He should not make it resemble the Maghrib prayer, but rather pray them consecutively with one taslim. Yes.
