Question:
Also, she says that she is eager to perform the witr prayer, and she prays the witr after finishing the two voluntary rak'ahs following the 'Isha' prayer. Is it better for her to pray it at this time, or should she delay it until the middle of the night, or until the end of the night? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you.
Answer:
If she is confident that she will be able to get up at the end of the night, she should delay it until before the dawn, and pray the witr before the dawn. But if she is afraid that she will not wake up at the end of the night, meaning she will not be able to perform the witr at the end of the night, then she should perform it after the 'Isha' prayer. Yes.
