The Ruling on Qunut and Its Time

The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.

The questioner:
Some questions have come in from the brothers and sisters regarding the previous lessons. One of the brothers asks: Is the qunut established, O Shaykh? And was the qunut reported to be before the bowing or after the bowing?

The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions. The qunut referred to here is the supplication recited in the bowing of the witr prayer. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the witr prayer, and it is also established at times of calamity. If a calamity befalls the Muslims, other than the plague, they recite the qunut in every one of the five prayers to ask Allah to remove this calamity from the Muslims. It is recited after the bowing, and some scholars have permitted it to be recited before the bowing. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
