Is the qunut prayer obligatory in the Fajr prayer, and is it permissible to pray without the qunut supplication?

Question:
Is the qunut supplication obligatory in the Fajr prayer? And is it permissible to pray without the qunut supplication?

Answer:
The position held by the majority of scholars, both the Salaf and the Khalaf, is that the qunut is not prescribed in the Fajr prayer except during times of calamity befalling the Muslims, such as when an enemy dominates them or besieges them in their land, or when an enemy dominates Muslims in another land. That is, the Muslims recite the qunut in the last rak'ah before bowing in the Fajr prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do in this situation. He would supplicate for the oppressed Muslims in Makkah and curse certain disbelievers rather than the Muslims. In this situation of calamity, the qunut is prescribed in the Fajr prayer, and in all other cases, it is not prescribed according to the majority of scholars, both the Salaf and the Khalaf. This is the correct view, if Allah wills. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
