Witr Salaah
Question
Are there two Witr namaaz's per day? ie. 1. Esha - 3 rakaats Witr Wajib 2. Tahajjud - 2 rakaat followed by 1 rakaat Witr? Should both be read every night or are they the same and only one should be read?
Answer
There is only one Salaatul Witr (three rakaats) which has to be performed after the Esha Salaah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
