ANSWER: Dua qunoot is not mandatory in witr. You can do it and you can skip it if you wish.

QUESTION: The qunoot being recited by Imam is too long to a point where I can feel the stress on my hands and I’m just hoping he finishes. I have no problem with long qunoot if my hands were on my chest. Is it less rewarding though to keep hands on the chest while qunoot is being recited by Imam?

ANSWER: Taraweeh is not mandatory so you’re not sinful for missing it in the masjid, however you have LOST a great deal of reward.

QUESTION: Is there any specific dua/dhikr to recite after completing Taraweeh? Because usually, after concluding the Taraweeh and Witr, the Imam Reads some dhikr and the followers repeat it!
