The Ruling on Qunut in Fajr, Witr, and Making Up Missed Witr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the ruling on qunut in the Fajr prayer and in the Witr prayer, and is there anything required of me if I do not do it or forget it?
The Shaykh:
A continuation of the previous answer.
The presenter:
Yes, yes.
The Shaykh:
Also, among the voluntary prayers that are made up is the night prayer and the Witr. If a person sleeps through his night prayer and his Witr, it is recommended that he make them up until the daytime, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do. However, he should make his Witr an even number. As for qunut, it is a recommended practice (sunnah). Qunut in the Witr is a recommended practice (sunnah). If a person leaves it out, his Witr is valid, and if he performs it, that is better. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
