The ruling on lengthening and reciting with melody in the qunut of the witr prayer

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on lengthening the supplication in the witr prayer during the month of Ramadan? What is the ruling on lengthening the supplication in the witr prayer during the month of Ramadan?

The Shaykh:
This goes against the Sunnah. This goes against the Sunnah, and it burdens the people praying behind the imam. He should shorten it. He should shorten it and offer comprehensive, general supplications that are not excessive, so as not to burden the people praying behind him or make it difficult for them. Yes.

The questioner:
And what is the ruling on reciting it with melody, like the Qur'an?

The Shaykh:
The rules of tajwid (the rules of Qur'anic recitation) apply only to the Qur'an, not to anything other than the Qur'an. However, it is good to beautify one's voice, provided it does not contradict the rules. There is no harm in that.
