Question

I normally read the esha prayers at the masjid and then come home and delay the sunnah and 3 witr until after midnight. Is it okay to read it so late? If not what is the latest time it can be read?

Answer

You may read the sunnats immediately and if you are confident that you will read the witr later you may postpone it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
