The Ruling on Qunut in the Witr Prayer

Question:
I am a resident of the desert, and I lead the people in prayer during Ramadan because there is no one who has memorized the Qur'an. During the witr prayer, I do not know the du'a' of qunut because I have not memorized it, and I do not make the supplication. Is the prayer valid without the du'a' of qunut, or is there something required of me in this? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The prayer is valid, if Allah wills, and you have a reward for this, since you have undertaken this noble work, which is leading your congregation in the tarawih prayer. We hope for you a great reward for that. As for the du'a' of qunut, it is not obligatory, and your prayer is valid, praise be to Allah. However, a specific du'a' that requires memorization is not required. Rather, you should supplicate with whatever is easy for you and whatever types of supplications come to your mind. A specific du'a' that requires memorization is not required. Yes.
