Is it permissible for a person to bow in prayer during the night after he has already prayed Witr following 'Isha'?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. He says: If I pray Witr after 'Isha as three rak'ahs, then I get up at night and pray as much as I can, and after that I sleep, and I get up for the Fajr prayer at its time, is this a good deed as you see?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that, except that it is better to delay Witr and make it the last prayer of the night, concluding the night prayer with it. This is the best if you are confident that you will get up in the last part of the night. However, if you are not confident that you will get up in the last part of the night, then you should pray Witr before you sleep. If it is made easy for you and you get up in the last part of the night, you pray whatever is easy for you of voluntary prayers and Tahajjud, and you are content with the Witr you prayed at the beginning of the night. There is no harm in that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. He mentions that he fears he will not get up in the last part of the night. Shaykh Salih?
The Shaykh:
As we mentioned, if he fears [not getting up], he prays Witr at the beginning of the night, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised Abu Hurayrah to do. If he is able to get up in the last part of the night, he should not deprive himself of prayer, but rather he should pray whatever is easy for him, and the Witr he prayed at the beginning of the night is sufficient. Yes.
The presenter:
Praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. One of his companions, one of the sisters, indicated her name by its letters: F, M, Y, T.
