Summary
An imam may add supplications and praise of Allah to the qunut, including Quranic verses that contain both elements, provided the intention is to recite qunut. The most virtuous wording is the supplication narrated from the Prophet. It is disliked for the imam to lengthen the qunut deliberately without reason, and he should use plural wording so the prayer includes the whole congregation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, dibolehkan untuk menambah apa-apa doa dan pujian kepada Allah SWT di dalam doa qunut, termasuklah ayat-ayat al-Quran yang mempunyai makna kedua-duanya.
