Its has been a habit for me to pray night prayers from the 1st day of Ramadan to the last day from 4:30am to 5am. So I normally skip witr during the prayer in the mosque so as to pray it after my night prayers. Am I doing the right thing skipping witr? Can I pray the witr with the immam and also repeat it after my night prayers?
