When should one who missed Witr at night pray it?

Question:
A message was received for the program from one of the listening brothers; it appears he forgot to mention his name. The message contained a collection of questions, in some of which he says: A person is accustomed to praying Witr at the end of the night, but on some days he does not wake up until the Adhan for Fajr. Should he pray it after the Adhan, or when?
May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
He should pray it during the day, and praise be to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), if illness or sleep prevented him, would pray it during the day. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: His (peace and blessings be upon him) Witr was usually eleven rak'ahs. If he slept and did not wake up, or if illness prevented him, he would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day, with six taslims.
The best time is during the Duha, that is the best. If he prays it after the Dhuhr, there is no harm, and it is not obligatory. This is a recommended practice (sunnah), yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
