The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is there a difference between witr and qiyam al-layl?
The Shaykh:
Witr is the conclusion of qiyam al-layl. Witr is the conclusion of qiyam al-layl. It may be the qiyam al-layl itself if he recites in succession, as you heard, the seven or nine or eleven or thirteen; it is all witr. Yes.
The questioner:
And Allah, if he says the taslim.
The Shaykh:
Tahajjud.

If he says the taslim from one rak'ah. Two parts.
The Shaykh:
Tahajjud, yes. This is better. Yes.
