When does the time for Witr end, and how is it made up if its time is missed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have work; I am on the last shift for Witr, and when I get up, I get up for the second Fajr. Is there another question? No, absolutely not, it is a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person). Please, Shaykh Salih.

Answer:
Yes, when Fajr breaks, the time for Witr ends. If you want to pray it during the day as a make-up, you make it up between the rising of the sun and just before the time for Zuhr, and you pair it. If you used to pray Witr with three rak'ahs, you make it four with two taslims. If you used to pray Witr with five, you make it six, with every two rak'ahs having a taslim, and so on. Yes.
