Question : All right, Shaykh, is the permission of the ruler a condition for the supplication in times of calamity in obligatory matters?
Answer : I mean the qunut. Yes, the ruler must give permission for this. Because the authority to declare such matters is vested in him. This is why no one recited the qunut other than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). (peace and blessings be upon him).
When a calamity befalls, it is not the case that other mosques recite the qunut. For this reason, the Hanbali jurists stated that the one who recites the qunut in times of calamity is the Grand Imam. They justified this by the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order anyone to recite the qunut, and no one recited it other than him, and by the fact that the one responsible for the Muslim community is the Imam, not every individual. Therefore, we hold that no one should recite the qunut in his mosque independently without the approval of the rulers, so that chaos and the confusion of the common people do not occur.
And so they say, "So-and-so has zeal for Islam and the Muslims," meaning the one who recited the qunut, and "So-and-so has no zeal," which leads to blocking what is not in its proper place, or
