The Ruling on Repeating Witr at Night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I am the imam of a mosque, and I lead the congregation in the tarawih prayer during Ramadan. Is it permissible for me to then perform witr at home every night, or should I be content with what I did in my mosque?
Answer:
You should be content with one witr. One does not repeat witr in a single night. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 470Sahih (Darussalam) Yes.
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it permissible?
Answer:
There is nothing preventing you from praying after the witr if you have already performed the witr. There is no obstacle. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform the witr and then pray after the witr. Yes.
