Is it permissible for a person to pray voluntary prayers after he has prayed the witr?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The absolute voluntary prayer, O Shaykh. The hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):
There are no two Witr in one night. لا وتران في ليلة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 470Sahih (Darussalam)
This could be evidence for the absolute voluntary prayer, that a person prays after the first witr, but does not pray witr a second time?

The Shaykh : I did not understand what you mean. What does:
There are no two Witr in one night. لا وتران في ليلة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 470Sahih (Darussalam)
indicate?

The questioner : It indicates the absolute voluntary prayer, that it is permissible to pray after one has prayed witr the first time. He may pray as much as he wishes, but he does not pray witr a second time?

The Shaykh : How can one not argue that the absolute voluntary prayer is one who is consistent with a restricted voluntary prayer? In other words, this evidence that you are now trying to present or derive is stronger than the evidence of:
The night prayer is (to be offered) two by two. صلاة الليل مثنى مثنى
Sunan Ibn Majah 1319Sahih (Darussalam)
?

The questioner : I said, if it is possible, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : No problem, if it is possible, it will be stronger than that one?

The questioner: It is the same thing.

The Shaykh : It is the same thing, and the answer is the same. What was the answer to that one? There is a contradiction in the practical Sunnah, and this is the same.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
