Making up the Witr Prayer for One Who Slept Through It Until the Adhan of Fajr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person sleeps through his witr and does not wake up until the adhan of Fajr, does he pray one rak'ah to make up his witr and then pray the sunnah of Fajr, or does he wait until the sun rises and pray his witr, adding one rak'ah to it?
Answer:
He prays witr during the day. He makes up his witr during the day in the open, and he follows it up. If he usually prays witr with three rak'ahs, he makes it four. If he usually prays witr with eleven rak'ahs, he makes it thirteen. He prays every two rak'ahs with a taslim. This is the ruling, and he does not pray it after the sun has risen. Yes.
