The ruling on praying two or more rak'ahs after the witr

Question:
In the two rak'ahs after the witr, does one recite al-Zalzalah in the first one?

Answer:
It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray two rak'ahs after the witr, which indicates the permissibility of praying after the witr. However, it is better to end with the witr, based on the authentic hadith: Therefore, it is better to conclude with the rak'ah of the witr. If one prays two rak'ahs following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to demonstrate the permissibility, it is permissible for one who has prayed at the beginning of the night or in its middle and performed the witr to also pray tahajjud with two rak'ahs or more. However, concluding with the witr is better, as stated in the two Sahihs.
