The Ruling on Forgetting the Qunut in the Witr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person prayed the witr prayer but forgot the qunut; what is the ruling in that case?
Answer:
It has no effect. The qunut is valid, the witr is valid, and the qunut is not a condition of the witr. It is a recommended practice (sunnah). If it is done, praise be to Allah; if it is not done, the witr is still valid.
