The ruling on performing Witr a second time after the Tarawih prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on performing Witr a second time after the Tarawih prayer?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade performing witr twice. He said:
There are no two Witr in one night.لا وتران في ليلة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 470Sahih (Darussalam)
. Therefore, one should only perform witr once, either at the beginning of the night, then rising in the last part of the night to pray whatever is easy for him, and being content with the first witr; or by delaying the witr to the last part of the night, praying it along with whatever prayers he performs in the last part of the night. However, it is more emphasized for the one who prays with the imam to perform witr with him, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever
prays with the Imam until he leavesصلى مع الإمام حتى ينصرف
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1364Sahih (Darussalam)
is as if he stood the night,
the entire night.ليلة كاملة.
"
And if he leaves before the Witr, he does not achieve that, because he left before the imam. So he should perform Witr with him, and this Witr is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. This does not prevent you from praying at the end of the night and relying on the first Witr. Yes.
