The Witr Prayer in the Mosque in Congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 17758 )
Q: What is the ruling on performing the Witr prayer in the mosque in congregation ?
A: It is not permissible to habitually perform the Witr prayer in congregation, neither in the mosque nor elsewhere, except in Ramadan after the Tarawih prayer. As for the rest of the year, each person should perform the Witr prayer individually. It is better to perform the Witr prayer at the end of the night, except for one who does not trust himself to wake up at the end of the night; in that case, he should perform it at the beginning of the night. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
