The Ruling on performing Witr directly after the 'Isha' Prayer

Question :

I take great care in reading the Qur'an, remembrance and the recommended prayers, such as Witr, but many times, I find Witr prayer a burden, especially if I do not pray it immediately after the 'Isha' prayer. Is it permissible for me perform it after the 'Isha' prayer, or must I delay it until just before sleeping?

Answer:

It is not preferred to delay it until just before sleeping if that will lead to forgetting it, or its becoming burdensome, or to one's becoming careless about it in this case, it is better to pray it immediately after the Isha' prayer. If you are confident that you can perform it at the end of the night, then it is better to delay it, but if you fear that you will sleep or become careless about it, then praying it earlier is safer.
