Repeating the Witr prayer in a single mosque during Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it prescribed to have two Witr prayers in one mosque during Ramadan, as was done previously in the Haram?

Answer:
No, there are not two Witr prayers in one night. However, in the Haram, they used to pray Tarawih with those present with them, praying with them and performing Witr with them, the people present for Tarawih, because they do not attend the night prayer (Qiyam al-Layl). And they would pray with those present for the night prayer and perform Witr with them, considering the people present, or considering the repetition of Witr. No. Therefore, the imam who performs Witr in Tarawih, if he stands up with the people at the end of the night, he does not perform Witr; another person performs Witr. One who did not perform Witr at the beginning of the night performs it. Yes. They take care of the people in this way because they are all present; some come for the time of Tarawih and do not come for the time of Qiyam.
And some come for the time of Qiyam and do not come for the time of Tarawih. So they take care of the people in this regard and appoint two imams: one for Tarawih and one for Qiyam at the end of the night. Yes.
But now, I think they have left the first Witr. Now they have left the first Witr and only perform Witr at the end of the night. Yes.
