Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question. The second question: Is it permissible to take and ask about the shaf' until twelve at night? Okay, thank you.
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to delay the witr, and this is better if you delay it to the end of the night; this is better. You pray with it whatever you can of the standing in night prayer, then you conclude that with the witr; this is better. And if you have already prayed the witr at the beginning of the night, if you fear that you will not get up at the end of the night, you pray the witr before you sleep. So if it becomes easy for you to get up at the end of the night, you get up and pray whatever you can, and you are content with the first witr and do not repeat the witr in one night. Yes.
