Summary
The Witr prayer is also recommended to be performed in congregation with the imam during Ramadan, whether or not a person has performed Tarawih. This view is stated by Shafi'i jurists such as Imam Nawawi and Imam al-Khatib al-Shirbini. Those who remain with the imam until he finishes are promised the reward of praying through the whole night. In other months, Witr is better performed alone.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
