Question:
We will take Ibrahim, please go ahead, Ibrahim. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you peace. Peace. I have three questions, Shaykh. The first question. If I pray 'Isha' and then pray the two rak'ahs of the sunnah, and then delay the shaf'ah and the witr, is it permissible for me to pray four, six, or eight rak'ahs before the witr? The Shaykh will answer the question.
Answer:
Yes, that is better. If you pray whatever is easy for you of the night prayer and then conclude it with the witr, that is better and more complete. Yes.
