Is dua-e- qunoot always recited in the last rakah of witr prayer, just after saying takbir?
How is dua qunoot for Naazilah prayed?
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said: “According to most of the hadith and according to the opinion of most of the scholars, al-qunoot should come after the ruku, but if a person recites it before the ruku that is o.k. He has the choice of bowing when he has finished reciting from Quran, and when he stands up from bowing and says “Rabbana WA lakal Hamd.” Then he may recite al-qunoot, as described in most of the reports from the Prophet (ﷺ) and as stated by most of the scholars; or he may recite al-qunoot when he has finished reciting Quran, then say Allah u Akbar and bow. Both ways were narrated in the Sunnah.
[Al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 4/65]
Qunoot an-Naazilah is also done at the same position as mentioned above.
