The Difference Between Witr and Qiyam al-Layl

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there a difference between witr and qiyam al-layl (standing in night prayer)?

Answer:
Witr is the conclusion of qiyam al-layl, so combining qiyam al-layl and witr is better. If one does not stand in night prayer, he should at least perform witr, at least.
