The Ruling on the Witr Prayer and the Two Rak'ahs of Fajr in Muzdalifah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are the Witr prayer and the two rak'ahs of Fajr dropped in Muzdalifah?
Answer:
The apparent meaning of the authentic hadiths is that they remain; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray Witr while traveling and while resident. As for Jabir’s statement that he lay down after 'Isha, it does not contain a clear text stating that he did not pray Witr (peace and blessings be upon him). He may have left it off due to fatigue (peace and blessings be upon him). If one leaves off a voluntary prayer due to fatigue, he is excused.
And there was no evidence regarding the non-prescription of Witr on the night of the Day of Sacrifice. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray Witr while traveling (peace and blessings be upon him) and pray the Sunnah of Fajr. So the Sunnah is to pray the Sunnah of Fajr in Muzdalifah in the morning of Muzdalifah, the morning of the Day of 'Eid. The Sunnah is to pray it, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed it. The hadiths regarding standing in prayer on the night of 'Eid are not authentic. The hadiths regarding the virtue of standing in prayer on the nights of the two 'Eids are not authentic.
