Qunut in Times of Calamity and Raising the Hands in It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner from Libya says: Some of the imams of the mosques recite qunut in all the prayers because of this calamity that has befallen Libya, and some of the brothers disapprove of the people who raise their hands in prayer, saying to them that this is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and not a calamity. So what do you advise us to do, Your Excellency the Shaykh, may Allah reward you?
Answer:
The fitnah is a calamity, but we do not intervene in the affairs of Libya or anywhere else. They have their scholars and their muftis (scholars who issue fatwas); they should ask them.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
