Making up the Witr prayer after the sun rises
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, our Shaykh, if the sun has risen, does one make up the Witr prayer as one unit or two?
The Shaykh : He makes up whatever he wishes, just as he would perform it on time. He prays from one rak'ah up to eleven rak'ahs.
The questioner : But, Shaykh, if the sun has risen, for example, and his habit is to pray, say, five in the morning, does he make up five, or, say, six to make it an even number?
The Shaykh : Five, five.
The questioner : The wood.
The Shaykh : If he forgot the Witr, it is like if he forgot an obligatory prayer. But if something occupied him, then he prays twelve rak'ahs.
The questioner : If something occupied him, but if he slept through the prayer, does he pray the Witr, Shaykh? Yes.
The Shaykh : If he forgot the Witr, he makes it up as he would have performed it. And if something occupied him from it, he prays twelve rak'ahs as the Duha prayer.
