Witr Procedure
Kindly elucidate in regards to the Witr prayer that whether the three rakaah being prayed (if one chooses to pray three instead of five or seven and so on), do we have to say tashahud and taslim after the nafl prayer and then pray one rakah singularly to make it odd or can one pray all three together and say tashahud and taslim at the end.
I suspect that it cannot be prayed like Maghrib prayer?

Thank you for this reference.
Albeit, my question remains unanswered to the extent that I enquired about the validity of the Witr prayer in which, if one is praying three rakah, all three are prayed together without tashahud or taslim in the second rakah but saying it in the last rakah and ending all three rakaah together because of the hadith of ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used not to say the tasleem in the (first) two rak’ahs of Witr. According to another version: “He used to pray Witr with three rak’ahs and he did not sit except in the last of them.” (Narrated by al-Nasai, 3/234; al-Bayhaqi, 3/31. al-Nawawi said in al-Majmu’ (4/7): it was narrated by al-Nasai with a hasan isnad, and by al-Bayhaqi with a sahih isnad.) The same rule is iterated for five rakaah in Muslim, 737.
