Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some imams lengthen the supplication in the qunut to the point where it becomes difficult, and because of that, I leave the witr with the imam and pray it at home; because I cannot bear it due to pain in my back. Is my action correct, and have I obtained the full reward?
Answer:
If you have an excuse, there is nothing wrong with it, but why don’t you sit? Sitting and saying amen to the imam’s supplication is better than leaving it. Sit and say amen while you are sitting. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
