Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am consistent with the witr prayer, praise be to Allah, but occasionally—and it is rare—I fall asleep without praying the witr. Should I make it up in the morning or not?
Answer:
I heard that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), if he missed the witr prayer at night, would make it up during the day as two rak'ahs? Yes.
