The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He mentions that he is coming from the Eastern Province to ask Your Eminence this question. He says: I am the imam of a mosque, and I found myself in a difficult situation with a group from my mosque because of the strength of the neighboring mosques during the loud prayers. Some of them became angry with me, and I heard someone say that the scholars had said on television on Saturday night that the imams should recite qunut for their brothers in Palestine, as long as the one in authority has not prohibited it. I went to the Waqf (Endowments) Department, and they said that no permission had been issued and no prohibition had been issued. I ask Your Eminence: should I recite qunut or not? Refrain, refrain from qunut. The one who supplicates does not accept it without supplication; he supplicates.
The Shaykh:
He supplicates in the night prayer, he supplicates in the witr, in qunut, he supplicates, he walks, he sits. Supplication is not limited to, meaning, we do not limit it to qunut only. There is no restriction on supplication; he supplicates. And as long as no fatwa has been issued, do not recite qunut. Yes.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable, an obligatory prayer is something into which nothing is introduced, no addition or anything else, except by a fatwa. Meaning, he recites, yes.
