The ruling on performing Witr with one rak'ah before Fajr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah. If one performs Witr with one rak'ah before the Fajr prayer, is he considered to have stood in night prayer?
Answer:
He is considered to have performed Witr. As for standing in night prayer, that is something else. Standing in night prayer is one thing, and Witr is another. If he performs Witr with one rak'ah, it suffices as Witr, but it does not suffice as standing in night prayer. Yes.
