Do you have to read dua qunoot in witr or are there any other duas you can read? My grandmother has told me that you can recite any dua, where you are asking Allah for help but I have also heard that it is wajib to read dua qunoot in witr.

I usually read 'Rabbi, ighfir li'. Is this Ok?

  • AFAIK you can read any dua, even multiple dua in witr prayer... qunoot dua is prefered...

Any Dua should do it.

Al-Nawawi said: It should be noted that Qunoot do not have a prayer on the preferred point Any du'aa as Qunoot even recites a verse or verses from the Koran that include a supplication as Qunoot, but the best is mentioned in the Sunnah...

According to some scholars, you can also read any Dua in your native language - not necessarily Arabic - in qunoot of every prayer.
