Q 5: What is the ruling on the supplication of qunut?
A 5 : The supplication of qunut has three states: The first state : Qunut in the witr prayer, and this is recommended; due to the hadith of al-Hasan ibn 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said:Mishkat al-Masabih 1273 It was narrated by Ahmad and the people of the Sunan, and al-Tirmidhi graded it as good. The second state : Qunut in times of calamity, whether it is a supplication for a group of Muslims or against a group of disbelievers, and this qunut is prescribed, as it is established from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 677d It is agreed upon as authentic. The third state : Qunut in the Fajr prayer permanently, and this is an innovated practice; as it is established It was narrated by Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi and al-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah , and al-Tirmidhi graded it as authentic. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.

He whom Thou befriendest is not humbled. Blessed and exalted art Thou, our Lord.”
