However, we are inclined towards the second opinion which states that it is sunnah to raise one’s hands when reciting qunut as stated by Imam al-Nawawi. Hence, it is impermissible for us to refute others who hold the opposite opinion from us, for it is included in the accredited disagreement (khilaf mu’tabar).

To conclude, this is a khilaf (scholars have differing opinions regarding it) issue among scholars. Other than that, it is also narrated from Ali bin Abi Talib but the sanad (chain of narrators) is weak and it is also narrated from Abdullah bin Mas’ud and Abu Hurairah R.Anhum for qunut in witir. “I prayed behind Umar bin al-Khattab RA then he would recite qunut after ruku’ and he would raise both his hands and voice when supplicating.” Imam al-Baihaqi further states that several companions of the Prophet PBUH also raised their hands when they recite the qunut as narrated by Abi Rafi’: “ For every Subh prayer I saw the Prophet PBUH would raise his hands and supplicate for them who killed the companions who memorized the Quran.” Imam al-Baihaqi states that the chain of narration from Anas bin Malik RA is sahih (authentic) or hasan (good), where it details the story of Qurra’ (the people of the Quran) who are killed:

This is in accordance with a hadith from Anas bin Malik RA: It is also recited in the last rakaat of any prayer for qunut Nazilah. It is recited during I’tidal (after getting up from ruku’ (bowing)) in the second rakaat of Subh prayer and also the second rakaat in Witir prayer in the second half of Ramadhan. Reciting qunut in Subh prayer is included among the matters that are sunnah in prayer according to madhab al-Syafie. Blessings and salutations to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, his wives, his family, companions and all those that follow his teachings to the day of judgement. Is it sunnah to raise one’s hands while reciting qunut in Subh prayer?Īlhamdulillah, praise and thanks to Allah for the countless blessings He has blessed us all with.
