Question:
If someone sleeps through the witr, does he make it up as an even number or an odd number?
Answer:
If someone sleeps through his witr at night, he makes it up during the Duha time, when the sun has risen, from its rising until the time of the Zuhr prayer enters. All of this is the time for making up the witr. However, he makes it up as an even number. If he usually prays witr with three rak'ahs, he makes it four rak'ahs with two taslims. If he usually prays witr with eleven rak'ahs, he makes it twelve rak'ahs, two rak'ahs with one taslim. This is as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. If he missed the witr at night, he would pray twelve rak'ahs during the Duha time.
