The Prescribed Supplication in the Qunut of Witr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the Qunut supplication in Ramadan limited to a specific supplication, or is it permissible to add to it? And what is the best in the Qunut supplication, especially in Ramadan?

Answer:
The supplication in qunut should follow what is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of al-Hasan:
O Allah, guide us among those whom You have guided...اللهم اهدنا فيمن هديت...
Sahih Ibn Hibban 7:117
One may add to it whatever good supplications are appropriate; if one includes some good supplications in it, there is nothing wrong with that, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught al-Hasan:
Allahumma ihdini fiman hadaytaاللهم اهدني فيمن هديت...
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1745Sahih (Darussalam)
and just as 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and grant him satisfaction) would recite in qunut: “O Allah, we seek Your help and guidance,” and just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite qunut in times of calamity when he would supplicate with supplications along with:
O Allah! Guide us among those You have guidedاللهم! اهدنا فيمن هديت
Sahih Ibn Hibban 7:117
All of this is good, if Allah wills, as was the practice of the Salaf (may Allah have mercy on them), yes.
