Question 48978

If I join Maghrib and ‘Isha’ at the time of Maghrib because of traveling, when should I pray Witr? Should I pray it straight after ‘Isha’ or wait until the time for ‘Isha’ begins?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

You can pray it straight after praying ‘Isha’. 

It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (8/144): 

It is prescribed for travellers and those who are sick to join prayers, and also for non-travellers to join prayers on a rainy night. They may then pray Witr immediately after praying ‘Isha’ when it is joined to Maghrib at the time of Maghrib.
