How to Make Up the Missed Witr Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If one misses the witr, Honorable Shaykh, how does he make it up?

Answer:
He makes it up during the day and makes it an even number, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. He used to pray witr with eleven or twelve rak'ahs. So if he misses the witr at night, he makes it up during the day and makes it an even number. He turns the eleven into twelve, and the thirteen into fourteen, with every two rak'ahs concluded by a taslim. Yes.
