Lengthening the Du'a' of Qunut in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the long du'a' of qunut in Ramadan has a great effect on the hearts of the worshippers, is it said that it is not permissible?
Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible. Certainly, the Qur'an, the speech of Allah the Exalted, with its promises and warnings, affects them. Exaggerating in something that is not prescribed does not help them in this matter. I say that it draws their attention to reading the Qur'an and the presence of their hearts during the recitation of the Qur'an. Yes. This diverts them from listening to the Qur'an and distances them from its master, and their sins are not expiated by the problem. The imam should train the ma'mum in what is prescribed and not train them in what is contrary to it. Yes.
