You mentioned that if a person sleeps through the night prayer, he makes up the witr but not the night prayer. How is that?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) in your explanation of the book al-Muntaqa that if a person sleeps through the night prayer, he makes up the witr, but he does not make up the night prayer.

Answer:
No, we did not say that, my brother. We did not say that. We said, assuming he is praying eleven rak'ahs, he makes up the night prayer and pairs it, so he does not leave it as witr. If he is praying eleven, he makes it twelve, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. He would make the witr seven, so he makes it eight. He would make the witr five, so he makes it six, and so on. He would make the witr three, so he makes it four. Yes.
