Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I maintain the witr after the rawatib of 'Isha, so I pray only one rak'ah, and this is every night consistently in the mosque. Is there anything required of me regarding this?
Answer:
This is the minimum. What is required of you is to stand in night prayer, perform tahajjud, and conclude with the witr. This is what is required of the Muslim. So this is a deficiency on your part. You are in need of the night prayer, even if it is little. Be consistent with it, even if it is little, and conclude it with the witr. Yes.
