Question :

How many Rak`ahs (unit of prayer) are offered in Witr prayer?


The Answer :

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds


Witr (an odd number prayer performed between Isha`a and Fajr) is offered with a minimum of one Rak`ah, and a maximum of eleven, but offering three Rak`ahs is the minimum of its complete form. And Allah Knows Best.
