Is it permissible, after Shafa and Witr, to pray two rak'ahs like the nawafil and Qiyam al-Layl?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for one who has prayed Witr to pray after it without repeating Witr, based on the صلى الله عليه وسلم's saying: "There are no two Witr prayers in one night." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم himself prayed two rak'ahs after Witr while sitting, as mentioned in the hadiths.
