Is it prescribed for the imam to recite the qunut silently?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on an imam who performs the qunut supplication every day in the Fajr prayer, doing so silently rather than aloud?

Answer:
How do the ma'mum (those praying behind him) know that he is reciting the qunut? What prevents him from reciting it aloud? The Sunnah is that he recites it aloud so that the ma'mum can hear it. Yes.
