Assalamu Alaikum Mufthi Sahib, I would like to know from you the way of performing Witr Namaz according to all four Imams. Is the method of performing Withr Namaz by the Ahnaf established by Hadees? Awaiting reply with the references of Hadees. JazakAllah
Let it be known that according to the Ahnaf, Withr Salath consists of three Raka'aath in one Salam in such a manner that in each Raka'ath after Sura e Fathiha, any other Sura or some Ayaths would be recited. And in the third Raka'ath, after these Ayaath or Sura, saying Thakbeer for Dua e Qunooth and reading Dua e Qunooth are both Wajib. This method is established beyond doubt through the Narrations of the following Ahadees. As for the method of the other Mazahib, may approach the Ulema of the concerned Mazhab.
