| | Ways of offering Witr prayer that are narrated in the reports - Q&A Library- Islam Q&A |
 | | Witr prayer is one of the greatest acts of worship that draw one closer to Allaah. | | | If he prays Witr with nine rak’ahs, then they should be continuous and he should sit to recite the tashahhud in the eighth rak'ah, then stand up and not say the tasleem, then he should recite the tashahhud in the ninth rak’ah and then say the tasleem. | | | But if he prays Witr with five or seven rak’ahs, then they should be continuous, and he should only recite one tashahhud in the last of them and say the tasleem, because of the report narrated by ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said: The Messenger of Allaah |

| | The time for the Witr Prayer begins from the end of Isha (Evening) prayer and continues until the Fajr (Dawn) prayer and is performed as the last prayer of the night. | | | The "Witr" (Odd Number Prayer) is a voluntary prayer traditionally practiced by the Prophet (peace be upon him) regularly whether he was present at his home place as a resident, or was on a journey. | | | The minimum number of rakaats in the Witr Prayer is one and the maximum which the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to perform was eleven. |

| | Wajib-e-Namaz: Sajdah-e-Sahw |
| | Though it is very blessed to perform the witr namaz after midnight, he who will not be able to wake up must perform it early, after the final sunnat of night prayer together with the night prayer." It is not sahih to perform the namaz of witr before the fard of the night prayer. | | | While describing the namaz of Witr, the book Radd-ul-mukhtar states: "Commandments that are fard (necessary, compulsory) both to believe and to do are called fard. | | | If the imam bows for the ruku' of the witr prayer soon, you must catch up with the imam in the ruku' by saying (the qunut prayers) quickly or by leaving them half-finished. |

| | Salaam Knowledge |
| | A proportion of investigators (verifiers- ahlu-t tahqiq) have stated that witr is the name given to one rak'ah which is separated from those proceeding it, or the name given to prayer or an odd number of rak'as; that is five, seven, of nine rak'as offered one after the other. | | | The times for offering the sunnah of tahajjud and witr are from the completion of salaatu-l 'isha' and its sunnah prayers until the time for offering Salaatu-l fajr. | | | And witr constitutes the conclusion of the prayers at night. |

| | Incidentally, witr is also considered one of the most important non-fard prayers by the other schools, and it can be made up later if it was missed for some reason. | | | There is no dearth of authentic ahadith about the Witr prayer, the fact that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) performed it himself on a regular basis, and that he encouraged others to observe it. | | | Thus, witr is wajib according to Imam Abu Hanifah. |

| | Practices - Witr Prayer |
| | Witr is the final prayer of the night's worship, meaning that it is performed either after sunnah prayers that follow ‘Isha if one is finished praying until the morning; or after Tahajjud if one rises in the last third of the night for remembrance and salah. | | | If you are able, you may recite Surah A‘la (the 87th surah) in the first rak‘ah, Surah Kafirun (109) in the second, and Ikhlas, Falaq and Nas in the third. | | | Al-witr, the final night salah, is a worship consisting of an odd number of rak‘ahs of prayer: minimally three rak‘ahs and optimally up to 11. |

| | When the imam says the salaam at the end of Witr, do not say the salaam with him, rather stand up and do an extra rak’ah, so that your Witr will then be at the end of the night. | | | Based on this, if a person prays Witr with him (the imam) and finishes with him, there is no need to do another Witr at the end of the night. | | | It is better for the person who is praying behind the imam to follow the imam until he finishes Taraweeh and Witr, so that he will have stayed with the imam until he finishes, and the reward for spending the whole night in prayer will be recorded for him. |

| | Offering Witr Prayers |
| | The " witr " prayer that the Muslims generally offer after " `isha " prayers are basically a part of the " tahajjud " prayers, which were obligatory for the Prophet (pbuh) and are a " nafal " (extra) prayer for the Muslims besides the Prophet (pbuh). | | | It must be kept in mind that the Prophet (pbuh), never in his life, offered his " witr " prayers after `isha. | | | The Prophet (pbuh) offered his tahajjud prayers in such a way that the number of the rakaat totaled to an odd number. |

| | Imâm Mâlik and Imâm Nisai have narrated this hadith in the chapter of witr. | | | Hâfiz Ibn Hajar states: "It has appeared to me that the wisdom in not performing more than eleven raka´ât is that tahajjud and witr are prayers of the night while the prayers of the day which are Zuhr (4 raka´ât), Asr (4 raka´ât) and Maghrib (3 raka´ât) also total eleven. | | | The second hadîth which the proponents of eight raka´ât quote is as follows: It is narrated by Jabir (Radiallâhu anhu) that Nabî (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) performed eight raka´ât and witr. |

| | Witr prayer is also called Witr for the reason that it is performed in one, three, five and seven Rak`ah. | | | Commentary: If a person is confident that he will get up to perform Witr prayer before dawn, it is better for him to perform it in the late hours of the night; otherwise, it will be well to do so after `Isha' prayer. | | | Commentary: Some `Ulama' are of the opinion that after performing the Witr prayer, it is not permissible to perform any other Nawafil prayers because the Prophet (PBUH) ordered to make it the last Salat. |

| | Then, the prayer is to be concluded by performing one rak'ah, which is known as the Witr (odd) prayer. | | | This is what is preferred and easier for the people, for some people might have necessities to fulfill and might have to leave after two, four, or six raka'aat. | | | And of the two, performing eleven raka'aat is preferred, but if he was to perform thirteen, including the Witr, then this is also Sunnah and good. |

| | Therefore Aisha (Radhiallaho Tala Anha) in her words clarified the actual sense of the Hadith that 3 rakaats witr are those in which there is salam after two rakaats and then 1 rakaat witr, and all those a-Hadiths which mentioned 3 rakaats witr means the same thing. | | | Then a person asked him (the Holy Prophet) at the end of the year and I was at that place near the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ; but I do not know whether he was the same person or another person, but he (the Holy Prophet) gave him the same reply. | | | He observed a Witr and two rak'ahs (of Sunan) of the dawn prayer, and thus the total comes to thirteen rak'ahs. |

| | Consequently, Witr is not a separate type of prayer as some people think, and there is no such thing as praying one Witr. | | | tu’l-Layl, the picture which emerges is the Witr prayer is actually a part of the Tahajjud prayer, which it seems from the Qur’a | | | t) is called Witr — for the word Witr literally means ‘odd’ in Arabic. |

| | The place for the qunut dua in witr is before the ruku in the Hanafi school. | | | After the Surah Faatihah, another Surah should also be recited in all the three rakaats of witr prayer as has been mentioned above. | | | If a person forgets to recite dua-e-qunoot in the third rakaat, and remembers it when he goes into ruku, he should not recite it now. |

| | Fatwa : Salaat - Witr salaat (Shafi / Salafi) |
| | According to hanafi school of thought this ‘witr’ should be repeated because if salam was said after the two rakat’s and then one rakat was performed then it’s not a valid ‘witr’. | | | So my question is that what should we do if we go to Makkah Al Mokaramma and there in Masjid-e-Haram they lead witr according to the Shafi method? | | | Even there(such a Muqaddas Place) are we (following the Hanafi method) told to not pray witr or can we pray and repeat. |
