How to Say the Closing Salam After the Witr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener, Sabri Abdullah Habib al-Jawari, apparently sent a message asking about the witr prayer. He says: Is it required to have two closing salams for it, or is one closing salam sufficient?
Answer:
No, it is two closing salams, like the rest of the prayers. Yes, two closing salams. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say two closing salams in the voluntary and obligatory prayers, may peace and blessings be upon him.
The presenter : So, does one pray two units, say the closing salam, and then come with one unit?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the recommended practice, and this is the best. And if one recites the three units in succession, there is nothing wrong with it.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
