How to make up the witr prayer during the day for one who forgot it at night

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a person, whether a woman or a man, forgets the witr prayer at night, how does he make it up?

Answer:
He makes it up during the time of the duha, which is between the rising of the sun and the time of the Zuhr prayer. He makes it up during this period and makes it an even number. If he usually prays witr with three rak'ahs, for example, he prays four rak'ahs with one taslim. If he usually prays witr with one taslim, he makes it six, meaning with multiple taslims, with a taslim after every two rak'ahs, and so on, making it an even number. This is as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do when he missed the witr at night; he would make it up during the day as an even number. Yes.
