الشرح المختصر
"Salāt al-Witr" (Witr prayer) is a prayer performed during the night after the ‘Ishā’ prayer and before the break of dawn to conclude the night prayer. The minimum units of prayer required for it is one "rak‘ah", and the maximum is eleven "rak‘ahs". It was named thus because the number of its "rak‘ahs" is odd; being either one, three, five, or the like.
