In our masjid, Witr is always a confusing matter in Ramadhan because the management wants to get it done in all different ways its done universally.

So there is this 3-rakat style with one niyyah as we learnt ourselves in childhood.

And then there is 2 + 1 in arab style where a dua is made after standing up from 3rd rakaah rukoo. This dua is said loud, with hands up and very very detailed and lengthy. Normally they do this way over the weekends and odd-nights.

And there is one other way i’m forgetting right now. But I oersonally find it very confusing. I would rather stick with one way.

They do this in our Masjid as well. The logic behind it is, they want to emphasize the fact that all the different ways of praying Witr are correct. Because all of them are Sunnah, ie the prophet himself also switched between the different Witr styles.
