Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I pray the 'Isha' prayer, do I perform the Shaf' and Witr prayers? Is that obligatory for me, or do I delay them until the end of the night?
Answer:
If you delay it until the end of the night before the dawn breaks, that is better. And if you perform the Witr after the 'Isha' prayer, there is nothing wrong with that if you are afraid you will not wake up at the end of the night. And if Allah makes it easy for you and you wake up at the end of the night, having already performed the Witr at the beginning of the night, then pray whatever is easy for you and be content with the first Witr. Do not repeat the Witr in one night. Yes.
