Does a person pray the shaf' before the witr in the night prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, Honorable Shaykh, he says: Does a person pray the shaf' before the witr and after the night prayer?

Answer:
Yes, the shaf' comes before the witr. The witr is the last one; the final rak'ah is the witr of the night prayer. If he prays the witr without a shaf', or if he prays only one rak'ah, that is sufficient. However, it is better for him to make it even by praying whatever is easy for him before it, at least two rak'ahs. Yes.
