The Ruling on the Imam's Qunut in the Fajr Prayer When He Is Compelled to Do So

Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, this Sami says: In our country, the imam is forced to perform qunut in the Fajr prayer, or else he is dismissed and replaced by an imam who opposes the Sunnah. So, is it permissible for him to perform qunut?

Answer:
Yes, this is the opinion of a group of scholars: qunut in the Fajr prayer is the opinion of a group of scholars. So, if he is ordered to perform qunut by the rulers, he performs qunut. And some scholars say: he does not perform qunut in the obligatory prayers except in times of calamity. If a calamity befalls the Muslims, they perform qunut for its removal. If no calamity occurs, there is no qunut in the Fajr prayer. In any case, if one leaves off qunut in the Fajr prayer, there is no harm, and he is following a valid method. And if one performs qunut, he is also following a valid method. Yes.
