Summary
It is permissible to perform Tarawih after Witr, as there is no prohibition against performing other voluntary prayers after Witr, and doing so is not disliked. The Tarawih is valid and its merit is gained if it is intended as Tarawih or Qiyam Ramadan. However, it is recommended to delay Witr until Tarawih is finished for those who intend to complete 20 rakaat. Those unsure whether they will complete their Tarawih or other voluntary prayers are encouraged to perform Witr first.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus melakukan solat sunat Tarawih selepas solat sunat Witir. Hal ini kerana tiada larangan untuk melakukan apa-apa solat sunat selepas selesai melakukan solat sunat Witir.
