The ruling on qunut in the Zuhr prayer when rain falls
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, one of our teachers, a teacher of Islamic education, led us in the Zuhr prayer at the school two days ago, and he made qunut with us in the fourth rak'ah. When we discussed the matter with him, he mentioned that this was a time when rain was falling, so it was a time when supplication is answered. Therefore, he thought it good to make supplication and qunut. What is the ruling on this action? And what is the ruling of our prayer, since this addition entered into it?
Answer:
By Allah, my brothers, these young people have some real issues, may Allah guide them. They have matters in which they exercise independent reasoning and make mistakes, even in acts of worship.
So this action is not permissible. As for anyone from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or from after him until now, if it is reported that he made qunut in the prayer when rain fell, then we follow the evidence. If there is evidence that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or his Companions, or even the Muslims who came after them, made qunut in the prayer when it rained, then this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). This is an innovation introduced into the prayer. So you should advise him. But the prayer is valid, and this addition is an adornment of the prayer, because it is supplication, and the prayer contains supplication. But he made a mistake in this, and he must not return to such a thing. We advise that the young people do not engage in these incorrect exercises of independent reasoning, because this expands later and innovations come and new matters come. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saidSunan Abi Dawud 4607Sahih (Al-Albani). Ask this, it will give us evidence from the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or from the action of the Muslims that they used to, when rain fell, they would... I do not think he is lying, yes.
