The Ruling on Qunut and Its Conditions

The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.

The questioner:
A number of questions remained from the previous lesson in this chapter. One of the brothers asks, saying: As for the qunut, is it established? And does it have conditions?

The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah. May peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. The qunut referred to here is the supplication that comes after the bowing in the witr prayer. It comes after the bowing in the witr prayer. It is established and continuous in the night prayer. As for the obligatory prayers, the qunut, according to the majority, is only prescribed in times of calamity when a calamity befalls the Muslims, so they make qunut and supplicate to Allah to remove it, or when an enemy transgresses against them, so they supplicate to Allah to avert his evil from the Muslims.
