Witr and Tahajjud Just Before Fajr

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

I wake up 10 minutes before fajr azan to read witr and tahajjud. Is it beneficial and permissible according to the hanafi fiqh to read witr at this time?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

This is highly virtuous, and the means for great reward.

One consideration is that it is only better to pray witr after sleeping if it is one’s sure habit to get up at night for tahajjud (night vigil) prayer. Otherwise, it is superior to perform it before sleep, in order not to miss it.

See answers below.

Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani
