The answer

It is better for whoever prays Tarawih with the Imam to also pray Witr with him, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, whoever prays with the Imam until he departs, it will be recorded for him as if he prayed the entire night." And whoever wishes to pray Qiyam at the end of the night should pray an even number of rak'ahs without Witr, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade two Witr prayers in one night. It is permissible for someone who prayed with the Imam and wishes to pray Witr at the end of the night to stand up after the Imam says the and pray another rak'ah to make his prayer an even number.
