Regarding the supplication of qunut in the witr prayer, what is its correct position: before the bowing or after the bowing? Is there a distinction between Ramadan and other months?

The questioner : Regarding the supplication of qunut in the witr prayer, what is its correct position: before the bowing or after the bowing? Is there a distinction between Ramadan and other months? May Allah reward you with good?

The Shaykh : The qunut in the bowing is a recommended practice, excuse me, in the witr it is before the bowing. The qunut in the witr is before the bowing because that is established in the hadith of Abu ibn Ka'b, narrated in "Sunan al-Nasa'i" and "Musnad Ahmad" and others, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) كان يقرأ في الركعة الأولى سبح اسم ربك الأعلى في الثانية قل يا أيها الكافرون في الثالثة قل هو الله أحد وكان يقنت قبل الركوع He used to recite in the first rak'ah "Subbuhisma Rabbika al-A'la" (Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High), in the second "Qul ya ayyuha al-Kafirun" (Say, O disbelievers), and in the third "Qul huwa Allahu Ahad" (Say, He is Allah, the One). And he used to perform qunut before the bowing. As for the qunut of calamity, it is after the bowing because that is what is established in "al-Sahihayn" and others. However, we do not see any objection to the qunut in the witr after the bowing, because that is established from some of the Salaf, from the Companions like Ibn Mas'ud, and perhaps also 'Umar, if I am not mistaken. For this reason, we do not disapprove of one who performs qunut after the bowing, but we recommend that we adhere to what is established in the hadith of Abu ibn Ka'b. Yes, what was the rest of your question?

The questioner : Is there a distinction in Ramadan?

The Shaykh : There is no distinction. No. Who was raising his hand? Please go ahead.
