Is the witr prayer made up after Fajr?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I ask for clarification on how to make up the witr prayer for those who miss it at night, as some of them pray it after Fajr in three rak'ahs?
The Shaykh : This is an error. When Fajr breaks, the time for witr has ended. A person makes it up during the day. If he usually prays witr in three rak'ahs, he should make it up in four.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If he usually prays witr in five, he should make it up in six. If he usually prays witr in eleven, he should make it up in twelve,.
The questioner : Do you mean with one tashahhud or two?
The Shaykh : No, with one tashahhud.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to do it with two tashahhuds, because if he did so, it would resemble the Maghrib prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade making witr resemble the Maghrib prayer.
