If one sleeps through the witr prayer and makes it up during the day in an even number of rak'ahs, is it disliked to recite the qunut in it, or is it recommended?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a person sleeps through the witr prayer and makes it up during the day in an even number of rak'ahs, is it disliked to recite the qunut in it, or is it recommended?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is contrary to the Sunnah. The Messenger did not recite the qunut when making up the witr in an even number of rak'ahs during the day. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
It is not part of the witr. The qunut is not part of the witr; rather, it is a supplication within the witr, a recommended practice of the witr. Therefore, it is not recited when making it up during the day. Yes.
