The Ruling on Making Up the Witr Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks, Shaykh: What is the correct ruling regarding making up the witr prayer?

Answer:
Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make up his witr if he did not wake up for it. He would make it up after the sun had risen, making it an even number. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray witr with eleven or thirteen rak'ahs, so he would pray twelve or fourteen rak'ahs to make it even. Yes.
