Question:
It is essentially the same question, but specifically about the qunut in the witr prayer?
Answer:
The qunut is also a recommended practice. Whoever performs it is doing what is better, and whoever leaves it out has done nothing wrong. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. So, if someone recites the opening supplication and also recites the qunut in the witr prayer, does he receive a greater reward?
The Shaykh: It is the recommended practice. It is the recommended practice.
The presenter: It is a recommended practice.
The Shaykh: And whoever leaves it out has done nothing wrong.
The presenter: But the reward is for the one who performs it?
The Shaykh: Yes, whoever performs the recommended practice receives its reward, and whoever leaves it out has done nothing wrong. This is like the regular voluntary prayers attached to the midday prayer, the sunset prayer, the night prayer, and the dawn prayer, as well as the regular voluntary prayers and the Duha prayer. Whoever performs them obtains their reward, and whoever leaves them out misses out on their reward. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
