What should one do who prayed two rak'ahs for Witr instead of one?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If you make a mistake in the Witr prayer and inadvertently add an extra rak'ah, you should perform the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw) after the salutation (taslim), and you do not need to repeat the Witr prayer. This Witr prayer will be sufficient for you.
