The Punishment for Abandoning the Witr Prayer and Wearing the Abaya on the Shoulder
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have a question from the beginning: regarding the witr prayer, is the one who abandons it punished? The second question: is it permissible to wear the abaya on the shoulder?
The presenter:
All right, thank you.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
My brother, regarding the witr prayer, the one who abandons it is not punished, but he is abandoning a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice), and he misses out on a great reward. He makes it up during the day, as you heard in the answer just before this, to make up for it. As for the woman’s abaya, it is placed on the head when she goes out, so that it covers her entire body, and it is not on the shoulder. Yes.
