Question

I am a hanafi. Recently after taraweeh, shafai imam led the witr prayer. He said he will do witr with one salam with no sitting in 2nd rakat i.e with no tashaud and qunot after rukuh of 3rd rakah. Is my witr valid or do i have to repeat the witr as in hanafi fiqh, sittiing in tashaud is Wajib in 2nd rakah.

Answer

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullah

The witr was not valid, it has to be repeated.
