The ruling on praying behind one who recites the qunut in the Fajr prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I was in a neighboring country a while ago, and I saw them reciting the qunut in the Fajr prayer. Is it permissible for me to recite the qunut with them?

Answer:
The hearts are in a state of rest in existence, which is not prescribed. Some scholars said this, but the correct view is that it is an error. Rather, the qunut is for calamities and in the Witr prayer. In the case of calamities, if a calamity befalls the people, such as wars, the ruler may curse the enemies of Allah, or in the Witr, in the middle of the Witr. As for the qunut in the Fajr prayer, a weak hadith has been reported regarding it, and some people have claimed it is authentic. So they recite the qunut in the Fajr. But if you are praying with them, recite the qunut with them, because there is a doubt about it. Pray with them, and do not abandon the congregational prayer. There is no harm in that. Yes.
