Question

Do I Need to Repeat My Witr Prayers If I Performed Them Late at Night?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.

You will not need to repeat your Witr prayer. The time of Isha and Witr is right before Fajr. Read the links below to learn about the recommended and disliked times for the five daily prayers.

Isha prayer enters when the red twilight disappears and continues from that point until right before Fajr time enters.
