What is the ruling on praying Witr in congregation?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Witr prayer and supererogatory prayers are legislated to be performed in congregation, as it is authentically reported in the Hadith that the Prophet (peace be upon him) prayed at night in congregation with Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn Abbas, and Hudhayfah, and he led them in congregation in the mosque during Ramadan for two or three nights. Many scholars have disliked the continuous performance of this and its public display in the mosque outside of Ramadan, because it was not from the practice of the Prophet (peace be upon him) nor from the practice of his companions and the Tabi'in.
