The questioner : Your Eminence, if the Fajr mu'adhdhin calls and I have not prayed the witr, should I pray one rak'ah, meaning the witr, meaning one single rak'ah during the adhan, or should I pray the even number, or wait until, meaning, the sun rises?
The Shaykh : No, no. If the adhan is called and you are in the witr, complete it.
The questioner : Before I say the takbir for the witr?
The Shaykh : Before you say the takbir. If the adhan is called before you say the takbir, and he is calling for the certain dawn, then the time has passed. You make it up during the day.

The Shaykh : No, no. If the adhan is called and you are in the witr, complete it.

The Shaykh : Before you say the takbir. If the adhan is called before you say the takbir, and he is calling for the certain dawn, then the time has passed. You make it up during the day.
