What is preferable regarding combining the witr with the shaf'?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is preferable to combine the witr with the shaf', or to delay the shaf' to the end of the night. For example, if a person prays the shaf' at the beginning of the night and wishes to delay the witr to the end of the night, should he separate them and pray the witr alone at the end of the night?
Answer:
The matter is broad, and I do not know of anything specific regarding this. However, if it is easy for him to have the witr with it, that is preferable; because prayer at the end of the night is better. If it is easy, he should delay two or four rak'ahs with it, praying five from the end of the night or three, which is better; because it is more in reward.
