The Ruling on Lengthening the Supplication in Qunut
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does lengthening the supplication in qunut invalidate the rak'ah?
Answer:
No, it is not possible in the language itself, but if it is difficult for the people, then it is not permissible. It comes from his action, but he does not conclude the next day. May Allah be pleased with 'Umar, when he was afflicted and recited Surat al-Baqarah in the 'Isha' prayer, he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order him to repeat the prayer; rather, he rebuked him and guided him, but he did not order him to repeat it. He said to him: "Are you a disbeliever, O 'Umar?" And he said: "Among you are those who drive people away. So let the one who leads the people shorten the prayer, for among them are the old, the weak, and those in need. And he did not order them to repeat the prayer."
