Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: Musaddad narrated to us, Isma'il narrated to us, Khalid narrated to us from Abu Qilabah from Anas ibn Malik, who said: Sahih al-Bukhari 798.
The Shaykh : The correct qunut is that it is permissible before the bowing and after it, as al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) titled his chapter.
But is this the qunut of the witr? It appears from the context of al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) that he placed this chapter after the witr, indicating that it includes the qunut of the witr. However, all the hadiths he mentioned from Anas indicate the qunut of the obligatory prayers for calamities, and that one may make the qunut before the bowing and after it.
As for the qunut of the witr, it is to be done after the bowing. Nevertheless, the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said that if one makes the qunut in the witr before the bowing, there is no harm.
The qunut [supplication before going down for prostration] used to be recited in the Maghrib and the Fajr prayers.
