Is qunut recited in the obligatory prayers when a cause is present?

Question : The second issue. Is qunut recited in the obligatory prayers when a cause is present?

Answer : The answer is yes, qunut is recited when a cause is present. But what is the cause? Is it a general cause or a specific one? For example, if the imam is a young man who finds it difficult to get married, and everyone he proposes to does not accept him, does he recite qunut in the obligatory prayer because the imam says, “O Allah, marry me”? The answer is no. If the matter is general, such as when a calamity befalls the Muslims, then yes. But if it is specific, no. A person makes a specific supplication for himself in prostration after the final tashahhud. As for qunut, it is not recited unless a calamity befalls the Muslims.
