The Ruling on Qunut in Times of Calamity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And another asks about qunut in times like this, given these events?
Answer:
Qunut is left to the authority and the scholars of fatwa. If the scholars of fatwa issue an order for qunut and the authority generalizes it, then it is acted upon, because nothing is introduced into the prayer without a valid reason. As for supplication outside of prayer, it is not prohibited; you may supplicate and leave it out of the night prayer, or you may supplicate. As for the obligatory prayer, this requires a fatwa, because nothing is introduced into it except based on a fatwa from the scholars. Those who assess the situation evaluate the conditions and see which conditions warrant qunut and which do not. Yes.
