Question:
He asks about which times are best for qunut: is it a quarter of an hour before Fajr, or ten minutes, or when is it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The time for witr is between the 'Isha' prayer and the dawn, and all of this is the time for witr. The later it is, the better, until the dawn. And if some of the tahajjud precedes it, that is better. The point is that the time for witr is broad. Whoever trusts that he will get up at the end of the night should make it at the end of the night and add to it whatever he can of night prayer before it. As for the one who does not trust that he will get up at the end of the night except for the Fajr prayer, he should perform witr before he sleeps, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered some of his Companions to do. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform witr every night with one witr, and his witr would extend to the late night, as the Mother of the Believers, 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), says. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
