The Ruling on Delaying the Witr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. I have one question for the Shaykh, if you please. Give it to him and go ahead. Right now, I delay the Witr prayer, which is the last part of the Isha prayer, until the end of the night, and sometimes I sleep without praying it. So, is there a sin on me or anything? Is it the Isha or the Witr? The Witr. Okay, thank you very much. I just want the Shaykh to make a supplication for me, if you please. Okay, okay. 'Amad is asking about delaying the Witr prayer until the end of the night?
Answer:
It is better to delay it; the later it is, the better, because the Witr is not completed until the rising of the Fajr, the second Fajr, and the time of the late night ends with that. So, the later it is before the late night, the better. Yes.
