Is it better for the ma'mum to make the witr even with the imam so that he prays witr at the end of the night, or should he pray witr with him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it better for the ma'mum to make the witr even with the imam so that he prays witr at the end of the night, or should he pray witr with him?

Answer:
It is permissible for him to make the witr even and pray witr at the end of the night if he gets up at the end of the night. However, it is better that he not make it even; rather, he should pray witr with the imam, which is sufficient, and then get up at the end of the night and pray whatever is easy for him, relying on the first witr. It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray after the witr. The Maghrib prayer is the witr of the day, and yet prayer is performed after the rawatib. Yes.
