(Q. 393): Is Witr to be left off when staying in Muzdalifah (during Hajj) due to the Hadeeth: The Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) offered Maghrib and ‘Ishā prayers which he combined at Jama’ (i.e., at Muzdalifah) with a separate Iqāmah for each of them – and he did not offer any optional prayer in-between them or after them.” (Al-Bukhari, no. 1673)
Answer: No. This is not correct – because the intent of the Hadeeth refers to the Sunnah prayers connected to the five obligatory prayers (rātibah). As for the Witr, he would pray it during all his travels.
