Question:
May Allah reward you. This person says, may Allah bless you: He exaggerates in the qunut supplication. We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to clarify the Sunnah regarding the qunut supplication. Does it have specific supplications? Is it prescribed to lengthen it in the witr prayer?
Answer:
The qunut supplication is prescribed after standing up from the bowing, but it is obligatory to take the middle course: do not lengthen it to the point where it becomes burdensome for you or for the congregation, and do not shorten it to the point where you deprive yourself and the congregation of the virtue of the supplication. Rather, take the middle course in the qunut supplication. Yes.
