Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If a person has a regular night prayer and he sleeps through it, is it prescribed to make it up during the day? And how does he make it up if it is an odd-numbered prayer?
Answer:
This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. If he missed the witr of the night, he would make it up during the day as an even number, meaning he would not leave it as an odd number. He would pray witr with three and make it four, with two taslims. He would pray witr with five and make it six, and so on. Yes.
