| 0:58.0 | What this means, therefore, is that witter can be prayed at any time after the timing of Isha, not after you pray Isha. |
| 1:08.0 | So, when you're traveling and you pray Makhrib in Isha early, then according to our author, you're not allowed to pray witter. |
| 1:19.0 | Because, why not? |
| 1:23.0 | It's not Isha timing it. |
| 1:26.0 | And this is one opinion, and the other opinion is that whenever you pray Isha up until Fajr, and insha Allah, whatever you do, according to our author, according to our textbook, the timing of witter is after the timing of Isha, not after you pray Isha. |
