The ruling on performing the late-night prayer (Tahajjud) for one who has already prayed the Witr in the early part of the night

Question:
Is it permissible for a person to pray the night prayer if he gets up after having already prayed the Witr, out of fear that he might fall asleep and not pray the Witr?

Answer:
This is a prudent measure, to pray the Witr in the early part of the night. And if he gets up in the last part of the night, he should pray whatever Allah makes easy for him: two rak'ahs, or four rak'ahs, or six rak'ahs, or more. All of this is good, but he should say the closing salam after every two rak'ahs. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also advised Abu Hurayrah and Abu al-Darda' to pray the Witr before sleeping, and he said: The reconciliation of these hadiths is that the best option for one who is able to delay it is to postpone the Witr to the last part of the night. But for one who fears he will not be able to get up in the last part of the night, he should pray it in the early part of the night, adopting the prudent course. This is indicated by an authentic hadith narrated by Muslim in his Sahih, from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: This is explicit in the detailed ruling.
So, praying the Witr in the early part of the night is better for one who fears he will not be able to get up in the last part of the night. As for one who is confident that he will get up and is accustomed to doing so, then it is better for him to pray it in the last part of the night. Yes.
