The Time for Qunut Outside of Ramadan

Question:
Now, Honorable Shaykh, this one asks: When is the qunut performed other than in Ramadan?

Answer:
The qunut in the witr is always performed. The Muslim performs qunut when he prays witr, after the bowing, and it is not obligatory. As for the collective qunut, that is done in the tarawih and tahajjud prayers in Ramadan, and it is also done in the obligatory prayers during calamities. When a calamity befalls the Muslims, the one in authority orders the qunut so that Allah may remove that calamity. This is a Prophetic sunnah. The Muslims perform qunut in every obligatory prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. He performed qunut in the Fajr prayer after the bowing, supplicating for a group of Muslims who were being oppressed in Makkah, asking Allah to relieve them. He also performed qunut, supplicating against a group of polytheists who had harmed and oppressed the Muslims. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed qunut, supplicating for some people and supplicating against others. This is only done during calamities, when a calamity befalls the Muslims. Yes.
