I haven't memorized Dua al Qunoot for the witr prayer. Can I read Sura Ikhlas three times instead? Also, what is salat al tasbeeh and what are its benefits?

1. One may recite any Du'aa from the Qur'aan and Ahaadith in place of Du'%0D%0Aaa-e-Qunoot.%0D%0A2. Kindly refer 'Salaat al-Tasbeeh' - attached%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai%0D%0AFATWA DEPT.%0D%0A%0D%0ASALAATUT TASBEEH%0D%0A1. Great virtue has been mentioned for salaatut%0D%0Atasbeeh in the Hadith. One is rewarded abundantly on offering this salaat.%0D%0ARasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had taught this salaat to his%0D%0Auncle, Hadrat Abbas radiallahu anhu, and said to him that by offering this%0D%0Asalaat, all your future, past, minor and major sins will be forgiven. He%0D%0Aalso said to him that if it is possible, he should try to offer this%0D%0Asalaat daily. If it cannot be offered daily, then once a week, if not,%0D%0Athen once a month, if not, then once a year. And if even this is not%0D%0Apossible, then at least once in a lifetime. The method of offering this%0D%0Asalaat is as follows: intention should be made for four rakaats of salaat.%0D%0AAfter reciting the thanaa', Surah Faatihah and another Surah, the person%0D%0Ashould recite the following dua fifteen times before going into ruku:%0D%0A%0D%0AHe should then go into ruku and after reading:%0D%0A%0D%0Athree times, he should again recite the above dua ten%0D%0Atimes.%0D%0AHe should then stand up from the ruku and after%0D%0Areading:%0D%0A%0D%0Ahe should again recite the above dua ten times. He%0D%0Ashould then go into sajdah and after reading:%0D%0A%0D%0Athree times, he should again recite the above dua ten%0D%0Atimes. After coming up from the first sajdah, he should again recite the%0D%0Aabove dua ten times. He should then go for the second sajdah and again%0D%0Arecite it ten times. He should then get up from the second sajdah and sit%0D%0Aand recite it ten times. After reciting it ten times, he should stand up%0D%0Afor the second rakaat. The second rakaat should be offered in the same%0D%0Amanner. When he sits after the second rakaat for at-tahiyyaat, he should%0D%0Arecite this dua ten times first, and then recite the at-tahiyyaat. In this%0D%0Amanner, he should offer all four rakaats.%0D%0A2. He can recite any Surah that he wishes in these%0D%0Afour rakaats - there is no specific Surah to be recited.%0D%0A3. If he forgets and recites less than the normal%0D%0Anumber of tasbeehs or completely forgets to recite them in any particular%0D%0Aposture, then in the next posture he should also recite those tasbeehs%0D%0Athat he forgot to recite, e.g. he forgot to recite the ten tasbeehs in%0D%0Aruku and remembered this while he was in sajdah. He should therefore%0D%0Arecite the ten that he forgot as well as the ten tasbeehs of sajdah. In%0D%0Athis case he will actually have to recite twenty tasbeehs in his sajdah.%0D%0AIt should be remembered that 75 tasbeehs have to be read in one rakaat and%0D%0A300 tasbeehs in four rakaats. If one recites 300 tasbeehs in four rakaats,%0D%0Ahe will Insha-Allah get the reward of salaatut tasbeeh. But if he did not%0D%0Acomplete this number in the four rakaats, this salaat will become a nafl%0D%0Asalaat and will no longer be salaatut tasbeeh.%0D%0A4. If sajdah-e-sahw becomes wajib for some reason or%0D%0Athe other, the tasbeehs will not be recited in both the sajdahs of sahw%0D%0Anor in the qa'dah thereafter.%0D%0A5. Sajdah-e-sahw does not become wajib for completely%0D%0Aforgetting the tasbeehs or for reciting less than the stipulated number.%0D%0A
