Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner, who is from outside this country, says: In my country, there are Sufis, and they recite the qunut daily in the Fajr prayer. When we advise them, they say, "You are Wahhabis." Should we pray with them, or should we pray at home?
Answer:
Yes, if you pray behind an imam who recites the qunut, among the people of the Sunnah there are those who hold that the qunut is prescribed in the Fajr prayer. Among the people of the Sunnah in the four schools of jurisprudence, there are those who hold that the qunut is prescribed in the Fajr prayer. So if they recite it, recite it with them, because you follow the imam; you follow the imam.Sahih al-Bukhari 1236 Yes.
