The questioner asks: Is it permissible to lengthen the supplication in qunut?
The Shaykh:
O Jooz, what is it?
The questioner:
Lengthening the supplication in the qunut.
The Shaykh:
If he is praying alone, let him lengthen it as much as he wishes, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. But if he is praying as an imam, he should consider the condition of the people praying behind him and keep it short. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So if he prays for himself, let him lengthen it as much as he wishes. Yes.
