The place of qunut after ruku' or before it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 14197 )
Q: Since childhood, I have learned to pray the witr prayer in the following manner: three consecutive rak'ahs without taslim after the second rak'ah, and the witr supplication before the ruku' of the third rak'ah. In the third rak'ah, I recite al-Fatihah, then a surah, then I say takbir like the takbir of ihram, then I recite the witr supplication, and then I bow for the third rak'ah. When I asked my father about this matter, he said: "We follow the Hanafi school, and the witr prayer in the Hanafi school is as we taught you." What is the opinion of Your Eminence, the Shaykh, regarding this? And if I pray as is done in the Noble Haram in Makkah during Ramadan, is there a sin upon me for that?
A: It is prescribed that the place for the qunut supplication be after the ruku' in the final rak'ah, which is the witr rak'ah. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
