Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If a man misses the night prayer, does he make it up during the day as witr, or does he make it up as it was?
Answer:
No, the evidence indicates that he makes it up as an even number. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), if he missed the night prayer, would pray twelve rak'ahs during the time of Dhuha. He used to pray eleven rak'ahs at night, so when he made it up during the day, he made it an even number, and thus he would pray twelve rak'ahs. He makes it up during the day as an even number.
