What is the ruling on sending blessings upon the Prophet at the end of the du'a' of qunut?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner says: Some scholars prohibit sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the end of the du'a' of qunut. I ask for clarification on this, and may Allah reward you with good.

Answer : Sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the du'a' of qunut is not established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
However, I see no harm in sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the end of the du'a' of qunut, because sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a right we owe him, and it is a form of supplication, on the condition that a person does not believe that sending blessings upon him in this state is one of the disliked matters. Rather, we send blessings upon him because he has a right over us, and because concluding the supplication with sending blessings upon him is among the praiseworthy matters. Even if some people say that sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the end of the prayer is a sending of blessings upon him for all the supplication, yes, that is a distant topic, and its answer is from another place. I am not able, praise be to Allah.
