Making up the witr prayer after the dawn has appeared

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for us to pray when we miss the Fajr prayer by a minute, and the man prays at the time of Fajr?

The Shaykh:
It has passed in the hadiths that when the dawn breaks, the time for Witr is no longer obligatory. The time for Fajr ends with the breaking of dawn, so when the dawn breaks, the time for Witr ends. However, one makes it up during the Duha time, as mentioned previously.

The questioner:
So other than that, it is permissible to make up that prayer, and to make up his prayer.

The Shaykh:
The Duha prayer is sufficient as a substitute for making up the Witr. You pray whatever is easy for you of the Duha, in an even number, and it suffices for the Witr. You pray whatever is easy for you of the Duha, and it suffices for the Witr prayer, but you must pray it according to the Shari'ah. Yes.
