Is it permissible for the Witr prayer to be three continuous rak'ahs with two tashahhuds and one taslim, like the Maghrib prayer during Tarawih?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed Witr in various ways: one rak'ah, three, five, seven, and nine. He prayed the three rak'ahs in two ways: either consecutively with one , or by making after two rak'ahs, then praying a single one. He did not pray it like Maghrib with two tashahhuds and a taslim, and he forbade that.
