Is this more virtuous or to complete his Tawaf, then go for al-Witr even if it (the morning) becomes brighter to a certain degree? He (the Imam) said, ‘You can begin al-Witr and keep your Tawaf on hold, if you are afraid (of its getting brighter) thereafter complete your Tawaf.”’ صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/36))
