Making up the night prayer for one who catches the witr before Fajr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Mu'adh from al-Qasim says: A person is in the habit of praying eight rak'ahs at night and performing witr with three. If he gets up late and catches the witr, which is three rak'ahs, before the dawn breaks, is it prescribed for him to make up what he used to pray at night?

Answer:
Yes, if there is time remaining for the witr, he should perform the witr before the dawn. And if he wants to pray during the day whatever voluntary prayers he can manage, that is a good thing. Yes.

May Allah bless you,
