Night Prayer for the One Who Prays Witr Before Sleeping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, in the last question he says: If I prayed Witr before sleeping, then I got up half an hour before Fajr and wanted to… Then I got up half an hour before Fajr and wanted to pray the night prayer. Do I conclude it with Witr, or is the first Witr sufficient, or do I make the first Witr even-numbered and then pray Witr at the end of the night?
Answer:
You are sufficient with the first Witr, and you pray after it whatever Allah makes easy for you at the end of the night. Do not pray Witr again; the first Witr is sufficient. This is the correct view. Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray after Witr. It is established from him that he used to pray after Witr. And the Maghrib prayer is odd, as you know, and yet we pray after it. The prayer after Witr is not prohibited. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
