Making up the Witr prayer for one who slept through it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a question, Shaykh. Sometimes I sleep through the Witr prayer. Do I make it up in the morning?

Answer:
Yes, if you sleep through the Witr, you make it up during the day, and it must be an even number. If you usually pray Witr with three rak'ahs, you make it up as four rak'ahs with two taslims. If you usually pray Witr with five rak'ahs, you make it up as six rak'ahs with three taslims, and so on. Yes.
