How does one make up the witr prayer if one slept through it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person sleeps through his witr prayer out of forgetfulness, and then does not make it up after the sun rises, also out of forgetfulness, does he make it up the following night?

Answer:
No. The time for making up the witr prayer is between the rising of the sun and Dhuhr, until the sun reaches its zenith. One does not make it up after Dhuhr, nor after 'Asr, nor on the second night. The time for making it up has ended.
