The Witr Prayer and the Sunnah of Fajr for One Who Wakes Up After the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in al-Muwatta that Ibn Abbas and Ibn Masud (may Allah be pleased with them both), when they woke up after the Fajr adhan, would pray the Witr and then the Sunnah of Fajr. Is there evidence in this that it is prayed after the Fajr adhan?
Answer:
Yes. The Shafi'is adopted this, and they hold that the Witr does not end with the dawn; one prays it even after the dawn has appeared. However, the majority do not hold this view, acting on the basis that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ended his Witr with the late night, which indicates that one does not pray Witr after the late night. This is the view of the majority, and it is the stronger position. Yes.
