Question:
The questioner asks: Is praying at the end of the night with two rak'ahs and witr considered standing in night prayer?
Answer:
Yes, standing in night prayer is achieved with two rak'ahs or more, or even with one rak'ah, up to the witr. One should do whatever is easy for him of standing in night prayer, but it is recommended (mustahabb) for him to pray whatever is easy for him of tahajjud before the witr, and then conclude his tahajjud with the witr of one rak'ah, which makes witr for whatever he prayed.
