When should I pray the night prayer if I do not wake up except at the call to Fajr?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Noble Shaykh, when should I pray the night prayer, since I do not wake up except after the call to Fajr? I mean: standing in night prayer?
The Shaykh : If a person misses standing in night prayer due to illness or overwhelming sleep, he prays during the day. However, if it is his habit to pray witr with three rak'ahs, he makes it four, and if it is his habit to pray witr with five, he makes it six. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray twelve rak'ahs during the day if sleep or pain overtook him at night. Yes.
