Offering the Witr with loud recitation

Q 1: Is it permissible for a Muslim to perform the Shaf` Prayer (two units of Prayer, particularly before the final unit of the odd-number prayer) and the Witr Prayer (Prayer with an odd number of units) with loud recitation

A: It is permissible for a Muslim to perform the Shaf` Prayer and the Witr Prayer either with a loud recitation or a subvocal recitation, but loud recitation is better as long as loud recitation does not harm anyone. This is because the Shaf` Prayer and the Witr Prayer are regarded as Qiyam-ul-Layl (optional Prayer at night) in which loud recitation is recommended.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
