The Description of Witr, Its Virtue, and Its Time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Tell us, may Allah bless you, about the manner of witr, its virtue, and when it is performed?
Answer:
The time for witr is from the 'Isha' prayer, with its regular voluntary prayers, until the dawn breaks; the entire period is a time for witr. However, it is recommended to perform it at the end of the night if one is confident that he will wake up. It is also recommended to perform a voluntary prayer before it, and an even number of rak'ahs, at least two rak'ahs, before the witr. If one increases his standing in night prayer, that is better, more complete, and more excellent. Yes.
