Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A woman prays the night prayer after the 'Isha' prayer, but she also gets up in the last part of the night. The question is: Is it better for her to continue praying the night prayer after 'Isha', or should she pray it in the last part of the night?

Answer:
If she is confident that she will get up in the last part of the night, she should delay it; it is better for her to delay it until the last part of the night and conclude her prayer with the witr. As for if she is not confident that she will get up, she prays at the beginning of the night and prays the witr. If it then becomes easy for her to get up in the last part of the night, she prays whatever is easy for her and is content with the first witr. Yes.
