The Ruling on Neglecting the Witr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some people are negligent regarding the witr prayer. Is there any guidance, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
The witr prayer is a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice), and some scholars have made it obligatory. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never left the witr, whether resident or traveling. He never left the witr and the two rak'ahs of Fajr, whether resident or traveling. Therefore, one must be diligent in performing the witr and not leave it.
Imam Ahmad says that whoever leaves the witr, whoever leaves the witr, is a bad man whose testimony is not accepted. If he persists in leaving the witr, but if he leaves it sometimes because he is busy or leaves it at times, then his matter is easy. As for the one who habitually leaves the witr and never performs it, he has undoubtedly left a confirmed matter, indeed some scholars hold that it is obligatory. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
