Melodizing the Du'a of Qunut and Raising the Voice in Night Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding the effort to melodize the supplication in the Qunut prayer and the effort involved in it, and also if a person wants to pray the night prayer, is it permissible for him to raise his voice and melodize the Qunut?
Answer:
There is no need to melodize the Qunut; it should be recited in a normal voice with humility and fear of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Improving the voice and reciting with measured rhythm is for the Noble Qur'an. As for raising the voice in the night prayer, this depends on the benefit. If there are people praying with him who are disturbed by it, he should not raise his voice, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not raise your voices over one another"As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 14:26. But if there is no one around him who is disturbed by it, or who is harmed by it, such as a sleeper or a person talking, or otherwise, then he should raise his voice. Yes.
