The ruling on a woman who vowed to pray Witr before sleeping, and what is required of her if she sleeps before praying Witr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This sister, the questioner, says that she is a young woman who vowed to Allah that she would not sleep until she had prayed the Witr prayer. Sometimes she does not perform it. The question is, Shaykh: Is she required to pay an expiation if she misses the Witr prayer and sleeps?
Answer:
She is required to fulfill her vow, so she should pray Witr before she sleeps. As long as she vowed to pray Witr before sleeping, that is obligatory for her. So she should pray Witr before she sleeps. If she does not do so and sleeps before Witr, she should pray Witr at the end of the night. However, paying the expiation for an oath is preferred over delaying the Witr prayer and failing to fulfill the vow. Yes.
