I sometimes used to pray only 1 rakat in witr prayer but after some research work and discussion with a friend I thought I shouldn’t and I started to pray 3 rakats with one jalsa at the end. My question is can I pray only 1 rakat in witr? And make it habit? Is it acceptable? And I mostly pray 3 rakats without sitting in second and very rarely I pray 2+1 I.e Salam at 2nd rakat
