Question:
Is praying four rak'ahs and then the witr prayer afterwards before going to sleep considered part of the night prayer?
Answer:
Yes, whatever is after the 'Isha' prayer is part of the night prayer. Any voluntary prayers after the 'Isha' prayer are considered part of the night prayer. So if a Muslim prays whatever is easy for him and then prays witr afterwards before sleeping, that is part of the night prayer. However, delaying it until the middle of the night or until the end of the night is better.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
