Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings and His forgiveness
The questioner : We have three questions.
The Shaykh : Go ahead.
The questioner : First, you previously mentioned to us that the supplication of Qunut, specifically the Qunut of Witr,
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : is from the Sunnah before bowing, is that not so?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes, but is the Qunut for calamities also like that, or is it the opposite, meaning after bowing?
The Shaykh : No, the Qunut for calamities is after bowing, whereas for Witr, the Sunnah is before bowing, as we told you.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Perhaps I mentioned it to you and you forgot, or I did not mention it and you forgot, which is that it is permissible to do the Qunut in Witr after bowing.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But the Sunnah is before bowing.
The questioner : This is what you mentioned to me.
The Shaykh : Because you did not mention it to me, so I was cautious and said either you forgot or I forgot.
The questioner : Yes.
