The ruling on performing Witr at the beginning of the night and then standing in prayer at the end of it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence, is it valid for me to pray Witr at the beginning of the night, and then complete this Witr at the end of the night?
Answer:
The matter is broad. If you have prayed Witr at the beginning of the night, you should pray whatever is easy for you at the end of the night, but without Witr; based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 470Sahih (Darussalam), pray two rak'ahs, or four rak'ahs, or six rak'ahs, or more, saying taslim after every two, and your first Witr is sufficient for you. However, the best is that you delay the Witr and leave it for the end of the night. So, when you have prayed what Allah has made easy for you, you perform Witr with one rak'ah. This is the best; based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Abi Dawud 1326Sahih (Al-Albani) This is what is prescribed.

There are no two Witr in one night.
لا وتران في ليلةPrayer during the night should consist of pairs of rak'ahs, but if one of you fears the morning is near he should pray one rak'ah which will make his prayer an odd number for him.
صلاة الليل مثنى مثنى، فإذا خشي أحدكم الصبح صلى ركعة واحدة، توتر له ما قد صلى
