The Ruling on Qunut for the Muslims in Palestine

Question:
I am the imam of a mosque, and I found myself in a difficult situation with a group from my mosque because I said, or before I came to the neighboring mosques at the times of the loud prayers, some of them became angry with me. Then someone came to me saying that the scholars had said on television on Saturday night that it is obligatory for the imams to make qunut for their brothers in Palestine, as long as the one in authority has not prohibited it. I went to the Waqf (Endowments) Department, and they said that no permission had been issued and no prohibition had been issued. I am asking your eminence: should I make qunut or not?

Answer:
He refrained, he refrained from qunut. The one who calls out, the one who closed the door against him, calls out. He calls out in his prayer at night, he calls out in the witr, the qunut, he calls out and walks while sitting. Supplication has not been prohibited; that is, it is not that supplication is only by qunut. Supplication has not been prohibited. Call out. And as long as no fatwa has been issued, do not make qunut.
