The Ruling on Praying After Witr and Praying a Voluntary Prayer While Sitting

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed two rak'ahs after the witr while sitting?

Answer:
Yes, praying after the witr is permissible. Therefore, one prays after the Maghrib, which is an odd-numbered prayer. The Messenger prayed after the witr at night. There is no harm in praying after the witr. As for praying while sitting, yes, it is permissible to sit in a voluntary prayer. In a voluntary prayer, you are given a choice: if you wish, you stand, and if you wish, you sit. However, the one who sits receives half the reward of the one who stands. Yes.
