Explanation

The meaning in a few plain lines

A Muslim who sleeps until the morning without praying the Witr or forgets it, he should pray it after the dawn break, but not in the sense that it was missed and is made up for, rather in the sense that it is offered on its due time. The noble Hadīth shows that it is permissible for the Muslim who forgets or sleeps before praying the Witr to pray it even after the break of the second dawn, because he is excused in this case by the Shariah.
