Is the witr prayer recited aloud or quietly, and which is better?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : One performs witr, the witr prayer, aloud or?
The Shaykh : It is up to one’s choice; if he wishes, he recites it quietly, and if he wishes, he recites it aloud.
Another questioner : Is there a preference for one over the other?
The Shaykh : The better option is what suits the praying person, in which he feels humility, reflection, and understanding; that is what is best for him. So both options are permissible.
The questioner : Is it the same for standing in night prayer?
The Shaykh : Witr is part of standing in night prayer!
The Shaykh : It is up to one’s choice; if he wishes, he recites it quietly, and if he wishes, he recites it aloud.
