Making up the missed Witr after Dhuhr or after Asr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If one was unable to make up the Witr during the Duha time or after Dhuhr, should he make it up after Asr?

The Shaykh:
Yes, [it is like] the food and Maghrib. If it becomes difficult, [it is like] a Sunnah prayer; it must remain [to be made up].

The questioner:
But its last limit is after Dhuhr. May Allah keep you safe.

The Shaykh:
No, Dhuhr is not the time, Dhuhr is not the time, but Duha is better, before the sun stands still is better, as stated in the other hadith: whoever misses the Fajr prayer of the night and prays it from the water before
Dhuhr, and it is as if he prayed it and saw it in the nightالظهر فكانما صلاه ورآه من الليل
if it is possible to do so before Dhuhr, that is safer and more appropriate, yes.
