The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, if the adhan is called for Fajr and someone has not prayed the witr, should he wait until the sun rises and pray them as an even number, or is he permitted to pray after the adhan for Fajr?
The Shaykh : If the adhan is called at the actual dawn, then he must refrain from the witr, unless he has caught a rak'ah of it, in which case he should complete it. However, if the adhan is called according to the calendar, the calendar is based on the actual time, which may precede the true dawn. Yes, Yahya?
The questioner : O Shaykh, the best is ... .
The Shaykh : Never. But Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) did it. Ibn 'Umar did it, so it is the action of a Companion, but there is no evidence for it. We took three, O ... , yes.
