You mentioned that the description of the witr prayer with three rak'ahs is either to pray them continuously or for a person to pray one rak'ah at the end. Did both of these come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. You mentioned that the description of the witr prayer with three rak'ahs is either to pray them continuously or for a person to pray one rak'ah at the end. Did both of these come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and what is the description that is not permissible in the witr prayer with three rak'ahs?

The Shaykh : The description that is prohibited in the witr prayer with three rak'ahs is to make it like the Maghrib prayer, meaning one prays two rak'ahs, then sits and recites the tashahhud without saying the taslim, and then comes to the third rak'ah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited this. As for the three rak'ahs with one tashahhud and one taslim, the Sunnah has come with this. Yes.
