Is it permissible to raise the hands during the qunut in the witr prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And if you are a ma'mum, you are commanded to follow your imam. But if you are praying alone and you say, "I will supplicate to Allah the Exalted with a long du'a' between the tashahhud and the taslim," that is, after the tashahhud and before the taslim, we say there is no blame on you. Supplicate to Allah; if you remain for an hour or two and then say the taslim, that is fine.
The questioner : The witr prayer.
The Shaykh : Yes, the questioner is asking about raising the hands during the khutbah, not in every place.
The questioner : In the witr.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is a second question. Yes, raising the hands in the qunut in the witr is correct, because it is established from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to raise his hands in the qunut of the witr. Yes.
