The ruling on the hadith "Whoever does not pray Witr is not one of us" and the time for Witr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is there a hadith in which
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is an authentic hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The presenter:
We send him our greetings.
The Shaykh:
He saidSunan Abi Dawud 1419Da'if (Al-Albani), and this falls under the category of warning, a warning and emphasis and encouragement to pray the Witr prayer. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. Does this hadith mean that if the five daily prayers are not concluded with Witr, they are not accepted?
The Shaykh:
Witr is not for the five daily prayers; rather, it is for the night prayer. As for the five daily prayers, they do not have a Witr. Rather, the Maghrib prayer is the Witr of the day, as the hadith states that it is not shortened during travel because it is the Witr of the day. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward him with good. Yes.
The Shaykh:
As for the Witr of the night, it is performed after the 'Isha' prayer, from after the 'Isha' prayer until the dawn breaks. All of this is the time for Witr. And performing it after the night prayer, or praying whatever is easy of the night prayer before it, whether at the beginning, middle, or end of the night, is better. If one limits himself to just the Witr, that suffices him.
