How to make up the Witr prayer if its time is missed by the dawn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The listener, F.M.J., says: Your sister in Allah from the Yemeni Republic sent a number of questions, the first of which is: What is the ruling on one who delays the Witr prayer until the end of the night, intending to stand in night prayer, but the Fajr prayer catches up with him and the call to prayer is made? Does he pray it before the Sunnah, i.e., the Sunnah of Fajr, or does he leave the Witr prayer and nothing is required of him?
Answer:
He delays the Witr prayer until after the sun has risen and become high. He makes it up between the rising of the sun and the time of the Zuhr prayer, but he prays it as an even number instead of an odd number. So if he used to pray Witr with three rak'ahs, he prays four with two taslims, and so on. Yes.
