Qunut in Ongoing Calamities and the Permission of the One in Authority
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Now, calamities are befalling this Muslim community and they do not cease; rather, they are continuous. Is it prescribed to recite qunut every day, or is the permission of the one in authority required for that?
Answer:
Do they not cease? Yes. They do not cease, and praise be to Allah. Do they not last? They cease. Sometimes they intensify and then cease, praise be to Allah. A scholarly ruling is required regarding the prayer. If he wants to pray and recite qunut for himself, nothing prevents him. But the congregational prayer and the mosques have a reference point and an order. It is not chaos. Yes. As for the one who prays alone, no, no, he is not forbidden from making supplication, yes.
