The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : Is it recommended to make up the witr prayer?

The Shaykh : It is recommended to make it up after the sun has risen, and it is not prayed as witr; it is prayed as an even number, based on the hadith of A'ishah
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when sleep or pain overcame him, would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day. كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا غلبه نوم أو وجع صلى من النهار ثنتي عشر ركعة
.

The questioner : A man prayed the two rak'ahs of Fajr at home, then went to the mosque for the obligatory prayer, so he was able to pray the greeting of the mosque, and he intended it.

The Shaykh : As long as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made it up at night in the Duha time, the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
