Summary
The Perlis State Fatwa Committee ruled that reciting subhanal malikil quddus three times after the Witr prayer is part of the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW. The additional phrase rabbil malaikati warruh is assessed as an anomalous (syaz) addition and therefore weak (daif). The decision was made at the committee's 36th meeting in July 2018 and endorsed by the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council in September 2018.
