Can we pray Nafl after Witr? I also want to ask if we can pray Tahajjud after Witr?

Question

Assalamu Alikum Mufti Sahab! Janaab, i wanted to ask if we can pray Tahajjud etc. after Witr? Example, if i have prayed Witr in the mosque with jamaat, can i pray Tahajjud after that? Also, i understand that according to Hanafi fiqh, we have 2 Rakaahs Nafl after the Witr, is that correct?

Answer

Respected Brother-in-Islam

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

It is proven in the Hadith that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) performed two Rakaats Nafl Salaats after Witr.

It is also permissible to perform Nafl Salaat with the intention of Tahajjud after Witr Salaat.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
