The ma'mum wants to add rak'ahs after the imam's witr in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If the imam performs witr in Ramadan, and I am a ma'mum, and I wish to add rak'ahs at home, should I leave the prayer before he prays witr, or should I pray witr with the imam, and then make it even by adding one rak'ah after his taslim?
The Shaykh:
This is better: that you follow the imam. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 806Sahih (Darussalam), so the best is that you perform witr with the imam and leave when the imam leaves, and there is no harm in you praying whatever is easy for you afterwards. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
And you suffice with your witr with the imam. Yes.

Indeed, whoever stands (praying) with the Imam until he finished, then it is recorded for him that he prayed the whole night.
