If I delay Witr for Tahajjud time, but overslept and woke up only during Fajr.

Question

If I delay Witr for Tahajjud time, but overslept and woke up only during Fajr. Should Fajr be performed first?

Answer

If one overslept and missed Witr, then before performing Fajr, it is compulsory to make qadha of Witr. After performing Witr, then only should one perform Fajr. However, if one's eyes opened at such a time that there is only sufficient time for Fajr Salaat, then first perform Fajr and make qadha of Witr after sunrise. It is best to perform Witr before going to bed when there is the fear of oversleeping.
