It is stated in the book *Fiqh al-Sunnah* by Sayyid Sabiq that the qunut performed before bowing in the witr prayer is recommended for the imam. Is this correct?

The questioner : Sayyid Sabiq said... that it is recommended to say the takbir before the qunut.
The Shaykh : The qunut
The questioner : Before he bows, he mentions that it is necessary to say the takbir.
The Shaykh : In the witr prayer
The questioner : Yes, indeed
The Shaykh : In the witr prayer
The Shaykh : Yes, first, my intention is not to track down the errors in *Fiqh al-Sunnah*; rather, I passed through his book briefly, and whenever I noticed a place that needed correction or a comment, I did so. Therefore, my action should not be understood, or at least it should not be understood, as if I left nothing unaddressed, as they say.
The student: Unaddressed
The Shaykh : Rather than what I addressed, no, but it is sufficient for the student of knowledge to stop at what I stopped at, either supporting it, directing it, or criticizing it. As for the things I remained silent on, I am not responsible for them.
The questioner : Does it mean it is prescribed...
The Shaykh : We did not know... this is in the Sunnah.
The Shaykh : The qunut
