If a man forgets his Witr prayer at night and makes it up during the day, does he recite aloud?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man forgets his Witr prayer at night and makes it up during the morning, does he recite aloud?

Answer:
Yes, if the night prayer is made up during the day, the recitation is done aloud. This is because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) missed the Fajr prayer with his companions, and they did not wake up until the sun had risen, he ordered the mu'adhdhin to call the adhan, then to give the iqamah. Then he ordered the mu'adhdhin to call the adhan again, and he prayed the two rak'ahs of Fajr. Then he ordered the mu'adhdhin to give the iqamah, and he prayed with his companions, reciting aloud. This is because, as they say, making up a prayer imitates its performance. Yes.
