In the month of Ramadan, can one pray Taraweeh and wake up to pray Tahajjud? If yes, how would one handle the issue of witr in Taraweeh and Tahajjud?

Actually,

The rulings below is applicable to someone who pray Taraweeh with imam in the masjid or anywhere and wish to pray Tahajjud alone in his or her home.

*The first option:*

When he prays with  the first imam and prays Witr with him, he may add a rak‘ah so that it will become even-numbered, then at the end of the night if he wants, he may prayer any rakaat of his choice (2 or 4 or any even number) and then, pray Witr.

*The second option:*

He may pray with the Taraweeh Imam - Witr,, then, at the end of the night if he wants, he may prayer any rakaat of his choice (2 or 4 or any even number) and no witr.

My People!

It's permissible, having prayed Taraweeh, to pray any rakaat after waking up from sleep. Yes. It was narrated via more than one isnaad that the Prophet (pbuh) prayed after Witr.. End quote from 📚Sunan at-Tirmidhi (2/334)

Therefore,

If you get up at the end of the night and you want to pray, then pray as much as you wish, without praying Witr *(if you have prayed witr with Taraweeh Imam)*, or you can pray witr during Tahajjud time *(if you did not pray witr with Taraweeh Imam)*, because there should not be two Witrs in one night, as mentioned above. End quote.

Furthermore,

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (r.a) said:

The words *“If he follows his imam, he should make it even-numbered by adding a rak‘ah”* mean: If the one who wants to continue praying at night follows his imam and prays Witr with him, he should complete it and make it even-numbered by adding a rak‘ah to it. This is the other way for the one who wants to continue praying at night: he can follow his imam in praying Witr and make it even-numbered by adding a rak‘ah, so that the last of his prayers at night will be Witr.

So he may follow the imam, then when the imam says the tasleem at the end of his Witr, he should stand up and pray another rak‘ah, then say the tasleem. Thus he will have prayed two rak‘ahs and that is not Witr. Then if he offers more prayers at the end of the night, he could pray Witr at the end of that. Thus he will attain the virtue of following the imam until he finishes, and he will also attain the virtue of making the last of his prayers at night Witr, which is a good deed.

Now,

If someone were to say: Isn’t this contrary to the words of the Prophet (pbuh), *"Whoever prays qiyaam with the imam until he finishes, there will be written for him the reward of spending the entire night in qiyaam”?* Our response is: It is not contrary to it, because the Prophet did not say: *Whoever stands with the imam and finishes praying with him, there will be written for him the reward of spending that night in prayer;* rather the hadith defines qiyaam as staying with the imam  until he finishes. So whoever adds anything after his imam has said the tasleem has indeed prayed qiyaam with him until he finished. End quote. 📚Ash-Sharh al-Mumti‘ ‘ala Zaad al-Mustaqni‘ (4/65, 66)
