O Shaykh! Regarding the pilgrim, does he perform witr on the night of sacrifice?
And why he does not perform witr: (Make the last of your prayer at night the witr) .
The questioner: Some scholars say: It was not reported from the Messenger; rather, it was reported that he slept directly.
The Shaykh: If the command was not reported, and neither the leaving off nor the prohibition of it was reported, then what is the original ruling? The original ruling is the continuation of the ruling.So he performs witr according to the number he usually performs: One rak'ah, or three rak'ahs, or five, according to what he usually performs for witr.
