The Ruling on Forgetting the Qunut in the Witr Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Sometimes I forget to recite the supplication of the qunut in the witr prayer. Should I complete the prayer or repeat it?
Answer:
It is not obligatory. The supplication of the qunut is recommended. If he raises his head from the last rak'ah of the witr, then prostrates, and does not perform the qunut, there is no harm. The qunut is only recommended; it is not obligatory. So if he does it sometimes and leaves it off other times, there is no harm. The qunut is recommended, not obligatory. Yes.
