The Order of the Witr Prayer in the Night Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was received for the program from the Dhahira region of the Sultanate of Oman, sent by the listener Muhammad al-Ya'qubi. In one of his questions, he says: If I pray the obligatory 'Isha' prayer and the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib), should I pray the witr before the night prayer (qiyam al-layl), or after the night prayer?
Answer:
The witr is to be the last prayer after the night prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 751b, and he said—(peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Abi Dawud 1326Sahih (Al-Albani).
So the recommended practice (sunnah) is that the witr prayer is the last one. One performs tahajjud, praying as many units as he wishes in pairs, then concludes with a single unit, which is the witr. This is the recommended practice. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The witr is to be the last prayer after the night prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Make Witr the end of your night prayer.
اجعلوا آخر صلاتكم بالليل وترًاPrayer during the night should consist of pairs of rak'ahs, but if one of you fears the morning is near he should pray one rak'ah which will make his prayer an odd number for him.
صلاة الليل مثنى مثنى، فإذا خشي أحدكم الصبح صلى ركعة واحدة توتر له ما قد صلىSo the recommended practice (sunnah) is that the witr prayer is the last one. One performs tahajjud, praying as many units as he wishes in pairs, then concludes with a single unit, which is the witr. This is the recommended practice. Yes.
