Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one is praying qiyam al-layl (standing in night prayer) and then the adhan for Fajr catches him, is it permissible for him to perform witr even while the adhan is being called?
Answer:
No, if the dawn breaks, it ends. His witr (peace and blessings be upon him) extended until the time of sahr (pre-dawn), so it ends with the sahr. However, he makes it up in the duha (morning) prayer as an even number of rak'ahs.
