What should one do who prayed two rak'ahs for Witr instead of one?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If you make a mistake in the Witr prayer and inadvertently add an extra rak'ah, you should perform the prostration of forgetfulness ( al-sahw) after the salutation (), and you do not need to repeat the Witr prayer. This Witr prayer will be sufficient for you.
