Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If the one in authority prohibits supplicating for the rulers.
Answer:
Yes, we prohibit it. If we prohibit it, we prohibit it. Praise be to Allah; it is not obligatory for them. Supplicating for the Muslims—you supplicate for the Muslims, even if not in the qunut. You supplicate for them in your prayer, at the end of the night, you supplicate for them in the qunut of the witr if you pray the witr at the end of the night. You are prohibited from supplicating for the Muslims in the qunut in the mosque, or else you do not supplicate for them? No, that is not correct. You supplicate for the Muslims. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
