How is witr salaah performed?

“The two rakaats nafl salaah performed after the witr is established in the Hadith of Musnad Ahmed, Saheeh Muslim and Sunan Tirmizi. These two rakaats of nafl can be performed while standing or sitting as the Fuqahaa clearly state that performing nafl salaah standing or sitting is permissible.”

“Yes, it is permissible to make any Dua which appears in the Quraan or Ahaadith, in the third Rakaat of the Witr Salaah at the time of Qunoot. One can recite اَللّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ three times, or رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّار.”

“According to the Hanafi Madhab, the minimum number of Rak’aats is two. Witr is three Rak’aats with one salaam at the end of the third Rak’aat. Therefore, it is not permissible to perform one Rak’aat as witr Salaah.”

“In principle, it is not permissible for one to perform his Fardh or Witr Salaah while seated in these types of vehicles (bus, plane, train and ship, etc.). If one cannot perform it standing by facing the Qiblah due to some unforeseeable circumstances, then he can perform Salaah while on his seat but he must repeat it afterwards.”
