Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1873/1480/D=1430)

You should not turn your head for salam at two rak?ah and offer the third rak?ah with imam. It is allowable to join the witr in the Holy Haram with imam in the abovementioned way, not at any other place.

(2) Neither raise hands nor say aamin, just keep silent:
