What is the difference between Salaat Tahajjud and Salaat lail and Salaat witr?

Question

Answer

According to Imaam Abu Hanifa, Witr Salaat is Waajib (compulsory). It is
subordinate to performing Esha Salaat.

Tahajjud Salaat (Salaatul-layl) is Nafl Salaat and may be performed at any
portion of the night.
