Question Detail:

Is it permissible to perform Tahajjud Salat before Witr Salat?

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
 
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
 
One may offer his Tahajjud Salat after  Esha. However, the reward for Tahajjud increases if it is delayed until after half of the night has elapsed.[1]
 
Tahajjud Salat may be performed at anytime during this period regardless if one sleeps or did not sleep.
 
The Tahajjud Salat may be performed before the Witr Salat.[2]
 
 
 
 
 
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
