It is wrong to add an extra unit of prayer to the Witr prayer because you doubt whether you said the Qunoot or not.
In brief, you are not required to repeat the Witr prayer just because you did not recite the Qunoot supplication. Some scholars even held that it is not prescribed in the first place. Only Abu Haneefah held that it is obligatory, while his two students (Abu Yoosuf and Muhammad) held that it is from the Sunnah. Thirdly, the preponderant view of the Shaafi‘is is that the Qunoot in the Witr prayer is recommended in the last half of Ramadhaan in particular.įourthly, the Hanbalis held that the Qunoot is an action from the Sunnah all year long in the last unit of prayer of the Witr prayer after the Rukoo’.” Īs you can see, the Qunoot is not Fardh according to all scholars. Tawoos said, ‘Qunoot in the Witr is a religious innovation.’ Secondly, the Maaliki scholars, in their more prevalent opinion, Taawoos, and a narration on the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, held that it is not prescribed to recite the Qunoot in the Witr prayer all year long. His two students, Abu Yoosuf and Muhammad, on the other hand, held that it is a Sunnah. “ The scholars held four different opinions regarding the ruling on the Qunoot supplication in the Witr prayer:įirstly, Abu Haneefah held that the Qunoot is obligatory in (the last unit of) the Witr prayer before the Rukoo’ (bowing) all year long (and not in Ramadhaan only). We have previously underlined that the Witr prayer is a confirmed Sunnah and that it is not Fardh (obligatory), according to the majority of scholars, and that the Qunoot supplication is not Fardh either rather, it is a recommended Sunnah, according to the majority of scholars, who held that it is prescribed, contrary to the Hanafis, who held that it is obligatory.
I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger. All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds.
