Impermissibility of offering two Witrs in one night


395

Q: If I performed `Isha' (Night) Prayer and Tarawih (special supererogatory night Prayer in Ramadan) in Ramadan and at other times, (Part No. 6; Page No. 67) then I offered Witr (Prayer with an odd number of units) before going to sleep, and then I woke up to offer Tahajjud (optional late night Prayer), should I repeat Witr prayer, or what should I do, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, Make Witr (odd prayer) your last prayer at night. Please advise, may Allah reward you!


A: It is impermissible for you to repeat Witr, for the Hadith which states: (There are) no two Witrs (to be offered) during one night However, if you want to offer supererogatory prayers, you are entitled to do that as you wish, but without repeating the Witr prayer.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
