Understanding the Witr Namaaz: Do You Need to Perform Both Esha and Tahajjud?

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q: 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?

Bismillaah

A: 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.
