What is the ruling on supplicating in the witr prayer for the believers and against the disbelievers?

The questioner : Is it permissible, after the supplication of the qunut in the witr prayer, to supplicate for the Muslims and against the disbelievers?

The Shaykh : If one performs the qunut in the five daily prayers and it occurs to him to perform the qunut in the supplication of the witr, he may be lenient in this, especially if the qunut of the witr is in the second half of Ramadan. This is because in authentic reports from the Salaf, they used to curse the disbelievers and supplicate against them in the qunut of the witr in the second half of Ramadan. They did not neglect the qunut and supplicating against the disbelievers in the five daily prayers. Therefore, the summary of the answer is: leaving the qunut in the five daily prayers and supplicating against the disbelievers, and transferring this supplication to the qunut of the witr. This is a reversal of the Sunnah, and it is clear.

The questioner : Yes, it is clear, O our Shaykh.
