The Reward of the Witr Prayer and Standing in Night Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: After praying 'Isha', I have been praying witr for years but I do not stand in night prayer. Is the reward the same for praying witr at the beginning, after 'Isha', as it is for praying it at night?
Answer:
You receive the reward for the witr prayer. However, if you want the reward for standing in night prayer, pray whatever is easy for you before the witr, even at the beginning of the night. Pray whatever is easy for you before it, then conclude with the witr. In this way, you combine standing in night prayer with the witr. Yes.
