Cutting off the Witr prayer at the call to the Fajr prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If I start the Witr prayer and then the Fajr adhan is called, do I cut the prayer short or complete it? And when do I make it up if I cut it short?

Answer:
If you have entered into it, complete it. If you have entered into the Witr prayer and the Fajr adhan is called, complete the Witr and do not cut it short, for two reasons. First, some scholars, such as Imam al-Shafi'i, hold that it is permissible to pray Witr after the dawn has appeared. The second reason is that the mu'adhdhin's adhan may be before the dawn; it may be that it is before the dawn, because some mu'adhdhins hasten in the adhan, advancing before the time. Yes.
