Question Detail:

Is this correct way to pray wajib witr to raise hand in third rakat?

Three Rakah Wajib (Witr)
In the jalsa of second rakah after Attahyyat do not recite Durood and stand up saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar). Do not recite Sana, this time start the third rakah with Aaoozubillah and Bismillah then Soorah Fatiha followed by any Soorah. Then say Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) this time do not go to Ruku instead raise your hands to your ear just like you did at the beginning or first rakah. Bring them back to under your navel just like you had them.

Answer :

Muhtaram / Muhtaramah ,
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Every thing you have mentioned regarding the third Rak’ah of Witr Salah is correct except for the recitation of Ta’awwudh (A’oodhu billah…). You should only recite it in the beginning of the Salah and not in the third Rak’ah.
والتعوذ عند افتتاح الصلاة لا غير (الفتاوى الهندية 1:73 رشيدية)
In regards to your predicament of going for Umrah, you should consider the fact that you will not be sinful for obeying your husband and not going for Umrah against his wishes. However, you will be sinful if you go for Umrah in a manner that displeases him. Consider the following Hadith; Rasulullah صلى الله عليه و سلم stated, “There are three people whose prayers will not surpass their ears, a runaway slave until he returns, a woman who spends the night whilst her husband is displeased with her and the Imam of a community who is displeased with him.” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, vol. 1 pg. 83, H.M. Sa’eed)
قال رسول ا لله صلى الله عليه و سلم ثلاثة لا تجاوز صلاتهم آذانهم العبد الآبق
 حتى يرجع وامرأة باتت وزوجها عليها ساخط وإمام قوم وهم له كارهون
Instead of earning the pleasure and reward of Allah, you would be earning the displeasure of Allah due to your disobedience to your husband. Furthermore, it will not be permissible for you to travel to Jeddah by plane without a Mahram.
We understand your ardent desire to visit such a blessed place and commend you for that; however, you should not choose such a coarse of action which will cause you to be sinful as well as put a strain on your marital life. We advise you to try a diplomatic approach with your husband and try your best to persuade him to either come with you or send you with your brother with his pleasure and happiness. By doing this, you will avoid the ill-effects of disobedience and derive maximum benefit from your Umrah, insha-Allah.
And Allah knows best
