What is your opinion regarding what is established from some of the Salaf that they would complete the recitation of the Qur'an in a single rak'ah of the witr prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says that it is established from some of the Companions and the Salaf that they would recite the entire Qur'an in a single rak'ah of the witr prayer, such as our master 'Uthman and others. The other one always prays with al-Ikhlas and al-Falaq, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of them in that and did not prevent them.
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no doubt that reciting the Qur'an in one night is possible. And if 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) would pray witr with the entire Qur'an, that is possible because how much does he pray? He prays one rak'ah. And this is possible, but a thousand rak'ahs is not possible except in a manner in which the prayer is not valid. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
