Is it permissible to pray after the witr?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: If I prayed the tarawih with the imam and he prayed the witr and I prayed the witr with him, do I stand up after the taslim and pray one rak'ah so that this witr becomes even, and then I stand up at the end of the night and pray and perform the witr?

Answer:
This is permissible, there is no harm. However, praying the witr with the imam and being content with that witr, then standing up at the end of the night and praying whatever is easy for you and being content with the first witr with the imam, this is also permissible. So, both situations are permissible. It is permissible for you to stand up after the imam's taslim and pray one rak'ah to make it even, and leave the witr for the end of the night. It is also permissible for you to pray the witr with the imam and be content with the witr with the imam, then stand up at the end of the night and pray whatever you wish from what Allah the Exalted has made easy, and be content with the first witr. And this is better.
