How is intention (niyyah) made for a witr prayer that was missed?
Share
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
For example: "I intend to perform for Allah the first – or – the last witr prayer that I missed."
Thus, the prayers that were missed would be started to be performed beginning from the first or last one that was missed; in either way, the missed prayers will decrease based on a certain system.
It is also enough to make intention as follows in order to make things easy: "I intend to perform a witr prayer I missed as qada."
