The Ruling on Praying Voluntary Prayers After the Witr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In the last question, he says: If I pray the witr before I go to sleep, and then I get up half an hour before Fajr, and I see that I should get up
The Shaykh:
Until when?
The questioner:
If I pray the witr before I go to sleep, and then I get up half an hour before Fajr and I want to pray the night prayer, do I conclude it with a witr, or is the first witr sufficient, or do I make the first witr even and then pray a witr at the end of the night?
The Shaykh:
No, the correct view is that you are content with the first one and you pray after it whatever Allah makes easy for you at the end of the night. Do not expand it; the first witr suffices. This is the correct view. Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray after the witr. It is established that he used to pray after the witr. Maghrib is a witr, as you know. Despite this, we pray after it. Praying after the witr is not prohibited. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
