The Criterion for Qunut in Times of Calamity

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. There are many questions on this single topic, and this is one of them. He says: I hope you will provide kind guidance and a comprehensive explanation regarding the issue of qunut in times of calamity. What is the criterion for this issue? What is the criterion for qunut in times of calamity? When does it take place? Is it permissible for everyone? And what is its ruling in these days?

Answer:
My brothers, supplication is required, and it is not limited to qunut in the obligatory prayers. You supplicate while sitting, while eating, while lying down, while bowing, while prostrating, in the night prayer, and in the qunut of witr. You are not prevented from this. As for qunut in the obligatory prayers, this is referred to the scholars of fatwa and knowledge who assess the calamities that warrant qunut and those that do not. Yes, this is referred to the authority of fatwa in the country.
