Making up the Witr prayer during the day for one who performed Witr with less than his usual amount
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If it is a person's habit to perform the witr prayer with eleven rak'ahs, but on one of the nights he only performed three rak'ahs, is it prescribed for him to make up what he missed during the day, and how does he do that?
Answer:
No, this person has performed Witr. As long as he performed Witr at night, even with just one rak'ah, the objective has been achieved, and praise be to Allah. The minimum for Witr is one rak'ah, the lower limit of perfection is three, and the upper limit of perfection is eleven or thirteen. So, performing Witr with any of these is sufficient, and there is no need to make it up during the day. Making up Witr during the day is only for the one who did not perform Witr at night. Yes. May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
