Lessons are divided into two main parts:

Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) and his companions statements relating to

qunut in Witr prayer.
He also collected from well-known schools of
jurisprudence that have that explain about it, including schools Dhahiriyyah.

researching, arguing, and draw conclusions.
Some of the conclusions in

1. That prayer qunut the Witr prayer (in the
month of Ramadan, red) are allowed do all year round. [Ishaq bin Rahawaih choose

book at-Legal Affairs Committee was fii Masaailil Thaharah Salah by DR. Muhammad
ibn 'Umar Bazmul it 362-385. And the word Ma'mar: "I qunut Witr Ramadan
throughout the year except early to mid qunut I did not, so first requests by
Hasan al-Bahsri, he said from Qatadah and others. See Mushannaf 'Abdurrazzaq
3/120 with a saheeh isnaad . well as from Ibrahim an-Nakha'i have said
'Abdullah: "he never qunut Shubuh all year and he qunut Witr every night before

Majah no 1182, sanad saheeh hadeeth (see 'Irwaul Ghalil 1/167 Hadith No. 426
Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawud and No. 1266). And as hadith Hasan bin Ali radiyallaahu'
anhuma, and history that is authentic from 'Abdullah ibn Mas' ud and 'Abdullah
bin Umar radiyallaahu' anhuma, even jumhur narrated from the Companions, as
narrated Ibrahim al-Qamah: "Verily, Ibn Mas'ud and other Companions of the
Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam qunut the Witr prayer before bowing."
Listen Narrated Ibn olsyaieh Abi Syaibah 2/302 or 2/202 no 12, said by al-Hafiz
in "Addirayah" hasan isnaad. Shaykh Albani said sanadnya jayyid according to
Muslim requirements (Irwaa'ul Ghalil 2/166). Also Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah
said: "That sounds qunut prayer after bowing and coupled with orang2 cursed
infidel, and blessings to Prophet shallalaahu 'alayhi wasallam, and pray for the
good of the Muslims, in the middle of Ramadan, because there is the argument of
the Sahaba radiyallaahu' anhuma at the time of Umar radiyallaahu 'anhu. Listen
Qiyamu Ramadan p.31-32]
7. Includes deviate from the Sunnah bertakbir
(Allahu akbar) before and after qunut, when (pick) qunut pray before bowing.
8. Includes Sunnah is that the priest prays his voice when qunut, and
the jama'ahnya say "ameen".
9. Including the Sunnah, to not lengthen

Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam), so he's only allowed to extend the
corresponding statement has been fixed.

17. Anything
done in qunut nazilah (conducted in obligatory prayers) can also be done in
prayer qunut the Witr prayer. This is consistent with the principle that
something passed in the compulsory practice is also authorized to practice
sunnah, unless there is specific arguments against it.
And he hoped
would help revive the manhaj Ulama 'in (the) researching, collecting arguments,
accept and reject the argument in terms of their validity, and then make
conclusions based on it.
May Allaah hears composer, sera giving
guidance, and perseverance.

Muhammad Bazmul at Umm al-Quraa University, Saudi Arabia]
A fourth: Is
the position of the hands raised in prayer qunut?
These laws set forth
in prayer qunut:
1) That a person raises his hand;
[Caption ust Abu
Hamza Yusuf: Dzahir words Ahlul ilmi (about kaifiyat raised his hand): "that his
hands were bound up like a man pleading, asking of others to give something. The
stretched and far between the two hands, so I do not know of its origin nor in
the Sunnah of the words of scholars "
2) That someone let his hands were by
his side;
3) That someone raises his hand in the early qunut and lowered
his hands at the end qunut.
Theorem (with respect to the points above):
1) The Prophet (Shallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) used to raise his hands
to pray qunut an-nazilah, ie invoke (Allah, red) to destroy the (infidel).
[Sahihh: Ahmad 3/137, al-Mu `jam as-Saghir and al-Bayhaqi in Dalaa'il
an-nubuwwah and As-Sunan Al-Kubraa. See also: Irwaa 'Al-Ghalil (2/181)].
And 'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood before lifting his hand as qunut.
2)
Az-Zuhri reported, referring to the Prophet's Companions actions: "They were not
raised his hands in Witr in the month of Ramadan."
3) Az-Zuhri narrated
that Ibn Mas'ud first raised his hands in (the) Witr, and after it left his hand
at his side.
Moses Abul-'Abbaas Musa ibn John Richardson (' Aziziyyah,
Makkah, Saudi Arabia) said: Ibn Mas'ud that the appropriate action here, because
he is a companion of the Prophet, and this act is tauqifi, limited by the
argument, then he will not be doing a variety of things in prayer in his own,
but he learned it from the Prophet (Shallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam). And Allaah
knows best.
The sixth problem: Is prayer qunut and saying "Amiin" the
congregation / jama 'ah carried out in a loud voice?
[Summary]
Considering there is no history that says that they used to be (friends) say
"Amiin" imam behind them along qunut witr, then the arguments of the actions can
be taken on qunut's best friend-naazilah (prayer to invoke the fight over the
people (enemy, red) were performed on an obligatory prayer), because of their
saying "Amiin" behind the Imam in prayer is the practice of (a) is conducted in
the obligatory prayers. This has been fixed arguments made in the Maghrib
prayer, which [is Maghrib prayer, red] that Witr obligatory, thus also allowed
to do so in the prayer which is not obligatory, based on the principles
described in the following rules:
"... Anything that has been assigned
to qunut nazilah (conducted at the compulsory prayer) is also practiced in qunut
the Witr prayer. This is supported by the practice of any obligation prescribed
in practice is also prescribed in the Sunnah practice, unless there is a special
proposition that prohibits it.
(1) As reported in the hadeeth hasan in
Musnad Ahmad (2746), Abu Dawood (1443), Ibn Khuzaimah (618), al-Haakim (1/225),
al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan as-Kubraa (2/200 ). And it has been agreed upon by
al-Haakim, Ibn Khuzaimah, and al-Albaani (Irwaa 'al-Ghalil: 2/163).
