Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, we move on to a message received by the program from one of the female listeners. The sender says: Your sister in Allah, al-Harbi. Our sister has a large number of questions, one of which is: I pray two rak'ahs at night and then pray three as witr. Is this permissible?

Answer:
Yes, the minimum for witr is one rak'ah. So whoever prays witr with one rak'ah, or three, or more, has done correctly and well, and its minimum is one rak'ah, praise be to Allah. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
