![]() ![]() Is it better to offer this prayer with Isha prayer or delay it? ![]() It starts when a person has prayed ‘Isha’, even if it is joined to Maghrib at the time of Maghrib, and lasts until dawn begins, because the Prophet ﷺ said: “ Allaah has prescribed for you a prayer (by which He may increase your reward), which is Witr Allaah has enjoined it for you during the time between ‘Isha’ prayer until dawn begins.” (al-Tirmidhi classed as saheeh by al-Albaani). It’s the same as Qiyaam ul Layl discussed in the previous class. Imam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Whoever neglects Witr is a bad man whose testimony should not be accepted”. ![]() Some of the scholars – the Hanafis – even thought that it is one of the obligatory prayers, but the view of the majority is that it is one of the Sunnah mu’akkadah which the Muslim should observe regularly and not neglect. ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “ O people of the Qur’aan, pray Witr, for Allaah is One and loves that which is odd-numbered.” (Abu Dawood classed as saheeh by al-Albaani). The Prophet never neglected it, he ﷺ even prayed Witr when travelling. Witr prayer is one of the greatest acts of worship that draw one closer to Allaah.
