The Time for Making Up the Witr Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to make up the witr prayer after the 'Asr prayer, given that it is permissible to make up the witr prayer during the day as an even number?

Answer:
It is reported in the hadith
that it is made upأنه يقضى ما
between the rising of the sun and the sun reaching its zenith. This is the time for making up the witr, meaning it is made up during the duha, between the rising of the sun and before the sun reaches its zenith, meaning before the time for the Zuhr prayer begins. This is the time mentioned in the hadith.
some scholars say noبعض العلماء يقول لا
It is disliked to make it up after the Zuhr prayer. Allah knows best, but the precautionary measure and the better course is to make it up during the duha.
