Repeating the Witr Prayer in the Night

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: Regarding the Witr prayer, is it permissible to pray it twice in one day? And if a person prays Witr at night and then wants to pray more units...

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to repeat the Witr. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There are no two Witr in one night.لا وتران في ليلة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 470Sahih (Darussalam)
. So if one prays Witr at the beginning of the night, and then Allah facilitates for him to get up at the end of the night, he prays and is content with the first Witr, and praise be to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray after the Witr, so it does no harm to pray after the Witr. Yes.
