The Ruling on Supplicating for Muslims in the Qunut

Question:
May Allah reward you. This question is always repeated regarding the permissibility of supplicating for our Muslim brothers in Lebanon and Palestine in the qunut. Our people?

Answer:
One supplicates for the Muslims without specifying Palestine or Lebanon. One supplicates for the purified Muslims, the believers, the mu'adhdhin, and those who are being transgressed against. Supplicate for the Muslims; do not name anyone. Yes.

Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Answer:
If a ruling is issued regarding qunut in the obligatory prayers, it is to be followed. However, as long as no ruling has been issued, it is not to be done, because supplication in the prayers and in the mosques is within the purview of the scholars of fatwa. If they issue a ruling to this effect, there is no harm. But if they have not issued a ruling, is a person prohibited from making supplication for his brothers in his witr prayer at home, or in the night prayer? Is he prohibited? I mean, is supplication only to be done in the obligatory prayer? No, the scope of supplication is broad.
