![]() ![]() ![]() But he taught al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) a du`a to recite in qunut al-witr, as will be quoted below. It is better not to recite qunut in witr all the time, rather it should be done sometimes, because there is no evidence that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did it all the time. Should you recite du`a al-qunut in witr prayer all the time? Rather it is a du`a of hope in which a person holds out his palms towards heaven… The apparent meaning of the scholar’s words is that the worshipper should hold his hands close together like a beggar who asks someone else to give him something. The worshipper should raise his hands to chest height and no more, because this du`a is not a du`a of supplication in which a person needs to raise his hands high. Raising the hands is mentioned in a sahih report from ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), as was narrated by al-Bayhaqi in a report which he classed as sahih, 2/210). The jurists among the scholars of hadith, such as Ahmad and others, say that both are allowed, because both are mentioned in the sahih Sunnah, but they preferred reciting qunut after bowing because this is mentioned more often. Some say that qunut should only be recited before bowing and some say that it should only be recited after bowing. With regard to qunut: there are two extreme views and one middle (or moderate) view. Shaykh al-Islam said in Majmu al-Fatawa (23/100): When to recite du`a al-qunutĭu`a al-Qunut is recited in the last rak’ah of Witr prayer, after bowing, but if one recites it before bowing it doesn’t matter. ![]()
