The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. If a person performs wudu' for sleep, meaning he wants to sleep and performs wudu' for the sunnah in accordance with the Sunnah, but when he is about to sleep he remembers that he must perform witr before sleeping, does he perform witr with this wudu'?
The Shaykh : Yes, yes. If a person performs a prescribed wudu', whether for sleep, for reading the Qur'an, or something similar, and then he wants to pray with this wudu', there is nothing wrong with it. This is because when he intended the prescribed wudu', his state of ritual impurity is lifted, so he can pray as much as he wishes. This is of the same kind as... Are you a guest or a resident?
The questioner : A guest.
The Shaykh : Very well.
