There are three methods one may adopt while reciting Qunoot:
1. Keep the hands raised as one does during dua
2. Keep them at the sides as in Qawmah (the
standing posture between ruku and sajdah)
3. Fasten them again as done during qiyaam (the
standing posture during qiraaah)
The Hanafi Scholars state that if the qunoot is before
ruku as in Witr, then the hands will be fastened because fastening the hands is the sunnah for qiyaam.
And if the Qunoot is after ruku as in Qunoot AnNazila (qunoot for adverse conditions) that is offered
during other prayers, then the hands should be
placed on the sides as the fastening of the hands is
not a sunnah in this posture. Numbers one and
three are not preferred, though not prohibited. And
only Allah knows best.

Rahmaan (radhy Allahu anhu) that he asked Sayyidah Aishah (radhy Allahu anha), How was the
salah of the Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alaihi
wa sallam) during Ramadhan? She replied, The
Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam)
did not exceed eleven rakaat in Ramadhan or outside Ramadhan. He would offer four rakaat and
dont ask about their beauty and length. Then he
would offer another four and dont ask about their
beauty and length. Then he would offer three rakaat. (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, Nasaee,
Ahmad 6:36)
The following Hadith also proves three raka`at:
Saeed Ibn Jubair reports from Sayyiduna Abdullaah
Ibn Abbaas (radhy Allahu anhuma) that The Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) used to
offer Witr as three rakaat, reciting Suratul-Alaa in
the first rakah, Al-Kaafiroon in the second and AlIkhlaas in the third. (Tirmidhi, Nasaee, Ibn Majah,
Tahaawi, Ibn Abi Shaibah 1:299, Ad-Darami 1:311)
