What does one do if he missed the witr?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah for the good. How are you?
The questioner: What Allah willed, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : May Allah grant you health.
The questioner : How is your health?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: Our Shaykh ... some questions.
The Shaykh: Please, go ahead.
The questioner: May Allah preserve you and bless you. Some of the brothers asked me, meaning, to ask you.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: A person missed the witr prayer, so he intends to pray it at the end of the night. Does he pray it after Fajr or not, if he wakes up at this time?
The Shaykh: When did he wake up?
The questioner: He did not wake up until Fajr.
The Shaykh: Did he wake up after the Fajr adhan?
The questioner: Yes, our Shaykh, naturally after its time had passed, let us say.
The Shaykh: No problem, my brother.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh: The point is, he woke up after the Fajr adhan.
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Okay, and is it his habit to pray in the mosque?
The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Okay, if he usually has a time between praying the witr and the establishment of the Fajr prayer.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Then he prays the witr. But if there is no time, then with the obligatory prayer, nothing is brought forward. In this case, he prays Fajr, and after that he prays the witr. The basis of the matter is that we have two hadiths: one of them is known to youSahih Muslim 684c.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: To the end of the hadith, and the other hadith is like this hadith, it came regarding the witr.
The questioner: Yes, yes, correct.
The Shaykh: Okay, and since the matter is so, let him pray it when he remembers it.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: So if he remembers it at a time when he can pray the witr without losing the congregational obligatory prayer, then at that time he combines the two obligations.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Otherwise, the obligation of the congregational prayer takes precedence over making up the missed prayer at that time.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: And in this case, he prays the witr after the obligatory prayer.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: And it is permissible for him to delay it until the Duha time and pray twelve rak'ahs, as you know.
The questioner: Yes, this is a point, by Allah ... Our Shaykh, it is for the Duha prayer.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Yes, our Shaykh, it is permissible to delay it and pray what is the Duha.
The Shaykh: He prays in the Duha time twelve hours, twelve rak'ahs.
The questioner: Twelve rak'ahs.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: May Allah bless you, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah for the good. How are you?
The questioner: What Allah willed, may Allah bless you.

مَن نَسِيَ صلاةً أو نامَ عنهاThe questioner: Yes.
