Advices From the Permanent Committee For the Imaams of the Masaajid Concerning Qunoot Al-Witr in Ramadan
Question: We have an Imam who Allah has honored with memorization of His Noble Book and with his beautiful voice. That is why many people are eager to make prayer behind him. But it has been noticed about him in the Witr prayer from the Ramadan prayers some things we would like to present to you in order to know what the sharee'ah ruling is about them. And those things are: That he makes the du'aa in a melodious voice and he makes du'aa similar to the way he recites the Qur'aan. Likewise most of his du'aa rhymes. And he lengthens the du'aa in a noticeable way to the point where the time of the du'aa reaches half of an hour or a little more or less. And when he was addressed about this, he made the excuse that these were virtuous nights and the last ten nights of Ramadan and that some sick people and people who were afflicted with problems asked him to make du'aa for them hoping that it would be accepted by Allah (high above is He).
Answer: What is legislated for the person making du'aa is to avoid rhyming in the du'aa and being overbearing with it. And that he have, while making his du'aa, humility and humbleness and that he shows that he is in need of Allah (exalted is He) and dependent upon Him. This will make the du'aa more likely to be answered and easier to listen to. And it is upon the one making du'aa not to make the du'aa similar to the Qur'aan by adhering to the rules of At-Tajweed and melodious recitation of the Qur'aan, because this is not known from the guidance of the Prophet (may the peace and commendations of Allah be upon him) nor from the guidance of his companions (may Allah be pleased with them). And it is upon the one who makes du'aa not to prolong it on those who are following him a prolongation which causes difficulty, rather he should lighten up and seek to use invocations that are short and concise with much meaning and he should leave off anything other than that as the Sunnah indicates. And with Allah is the granting of guidance and success, and may the peace and commendations of Allah be upon our Prophet and his family and companions.
