During the Qunut of Salat al-Witr, when asking forgiveness for 40 people, can I include Christians and disbelievers in my family and amongst my friends?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We can pray for non Muslim parents, relatives and friends who are still alive, to Allah (SWT) to guide them to The Right Path and enlighten their hearts and minds with the light of the Truth.

For those who passed away as non Muslims, we can pray to Allah (SWT) to deal with them with His Mercy.

We are not allowed to seek forgiveness for those who insisted and died on Shirk (polytheism) as we read in Quran, Sura Tawbah, verse 113: It is not proper for the Prophet and the believers to seek forgiveness for the Mushriks, even though they be of kin.

Wassalam.
When praying in the holy mosque of Mecca, is it permissible to look at the Kaaba during the Qunut?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes it is permissible to look at the Ka'bah during Qunoot because looking at the Ka'bah is a worship by itself. Nevertheless, it is always recommended during Qunoot of Prayers to look at your palms (inner side of your hands).

Wassalam.
