The ruling on one who forgets the qunut in the witr prayer

Our sister asks: What is the ruling on one who forgets the supplication of qunut in the witr prayer and prostrates before making the supplication? Does the prostration for forgetfulness make up for it?
Answer: He owes nothing if he forgets the qunut of the witr prayer; nothing is required of him, and the prostration for forgetfulness is not obligatory for him. If he prostrates, there is nothing wrong with it, but it is not obligatory for him. This is because the qunut of the witr is a recommended practice (mustahabb) and not obligatory. If he leaves it out intentionally at times, there is nothing wrong with it, as the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did. The matter is broad in this regard, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
