Summary
Closing the qunut supplication with blessings upon the Prophet SAW is recommended. This is the more authentic view in the Shafi‘i school, the view of the Hanbali school and one of the views in the Hanafi school. The evidence includes the report of Ubai bin Ka‘ab, the report of Mu‘adh al-Ansari, and al-Nasa’i's narration from al-Hasan bin ‘Ali on the witir qunut, which ends with blessings upon the Prophet.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sunat menutup atau mengakhiri doa qunut dengan berselawat ke atas Nabi SAW.
