"Praise be to Allah and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah and upon his family and companions. As for what follows:
The Qunoot of Witr is and does not prostrate for its omission. Scholars have differed regarding the ruling on prostrating for omitting Qunoot:
- Hanafis: Prostrate for omitting Qunoot of Witr. - Shafi'is: Prostrate for its omission only in the second half of . - Malikis: They differed; some say prostration invalidates the prayer, while others say it does not.
And whoever prostrates following or imitating one of these views or out of ignorance, there is no blame on them.
And Allah knows best."
