Cursing Israel in the Qunut
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In some of the supplications in the qunut, in the qunut for calamities, there are those who curse Israel. As you know, Israel is the Prophet of Allah, Ya'qub (peace be upon him). Is this supplication prescribed?
Answer:
No, do not say Israel; say the Jews or the Christians or the disbelievers. Do not say Israel; that is not their name. Israel is the name of the Prophet of Allah, Ya'qub (peace be upon him). Because here, some people curse Israel, and I seek refuge in Allah, saying, “O Allah, curse Israel.” This is not permissible. Yes. In the Qur'an, their name is not Israel; their name is the Jews and the Christians. Yes.
