What is the ruling on sending blessings upon the Prophet at the end of the supplication in qunut?

The questioner : The questioner says: Some scholars prohibit sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the end of the du'a' of qunut. I ask for clarification on this, and may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the supplication of qunut is not established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). However, I see no harm in sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the end of the supplication, because sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a right we owe him, and it is a supplication on the condition that a person does not believe that sending blessings upon him in this state is among the disliked matters. Rather, we send blessings upon him because he has a right over us, and because concluding the supplication with sending blessings upon him is among the praiseworthy matters, even though some people may say that sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the end of the prayer is a sending of blessings upon him for all the supplication.
