Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the du'a' of qunut in the witr prayer, is it better for a person to adhere to it throughout the year, or is it specifically for the month of Ramadan?
Answer:
No, it is not specifically for the month of Ramadan. This is a du'a' that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught his grandson al-Hasan ibn 'Ali, and it is a teaching for all people. These are comprehensive supplications, so the Muslim should maintain them in Ramadan. If he adds other supplications to them, there is no harm. If he is praying alone, he may lengthen the witr and the prayer as much as he wishes. But if he is leading people in prayer, no, he should consider their circumstances and not lengthen it for them. Yes.
