The answer

Both are correct, whether the two rak'ahs of Qiyam al-Layl are prayed before or after the two rak'ahs of Shafa'. It is sunnah to recite Surahs Al-A'la and Al-Kafirun in the last two rak'ahs before Witr, as they are part of Witr. It is better for one who prays Tarawih with the Imam to complete the prayer with him so that he may be credited with a night of worship. If he wishes to pray at home, he should pray Witr with the Imam, then stand and pray one rak'ah, then pray as much as he wishes, and conclude with Witr. It is better for a woman to pray in her home.
