The Ruling on Qunut in the Obligatory Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on qunut in the obligatory prayer if one is in the desert with a group of his friends?
Answer:
Qunut is not permissible in the Fajr prayer except in cases of calamities. If the Muslims perform qunut based on a fatwa, meaning a scholarly ruling, then the worshippers perform qunut, whether in the desert or in the town. However, if the Muslims do not perform qunut, then one does not perform qunut in the prayer, because nothing happens in the prayer and nothing is introduced into it except by a fatwa from the scholars who assess calamities and know the calamities that necessitate qunut. They are in a situation where something occurs for which they perform qunut. This applies to general calamities that befall the Muslims or some of the Muslims, such as an enemy besieging them, or an epidemic striking the town other than the plague. If the scholars decide on qunut, then the imams of the mosques perform qunut during calamities, so that matters do not become chaos, with whoever wants to perform qunut doing so and whoever does not want to, not doing so?
No, matters do not become chaos; they have regulations and references from the scholars. Yes.
