❖ Question:

If Witr is prayed immediately after ʿIshāʾ, is it correct to later pray voluntary (nafl) prayers at night? In other words, is it permissible to perform nafl after Witr or not?

❖ Answer:

Al-ḥamdu lillāh, waṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-salāmu ʿalā Rasūlillāh, ʿammā baʿd!

Yes, it is absolutely correct: if Witr has been prayed along with ʿIshāʾ, it is still permissible to perform voluntary prayers later in the night.

There is no prohibition against offering nafl after the Witr prayer.
