The ruling on praying the witr prayer with the early Fajr adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Abu Badr from al-Jawf says: May Allah bless you, Shaykh. I prayed the witr while the Fajr adhan was being called. Is my prayer valid? May Allah preserve you?

Answer:
If the adhan is early, before Fajr, there is nothing wrong with it; your prayer is valid. However, if the mu'adhdhin is calling the adhan at the time of Fajr, there is no witr at that time, for the time for witr has ended. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued his witr until the last third of the night, so you should delay it until the Duha time and make it up as a two-unit prayer.
