The Persistence of Qunut Every Night in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some students of knowledge criticize the imams for continuing to recite the qunut every night in Ramadan, and they say that it should be left out at times. Is this correct? And is it better to continue it daily or to alternate between doing it and leaving it out?
Answer:
It is better to leave it out on some nights; that is the best. One should not do it every night. It is better to leave it out on some nights so that people understand that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not an obligation.
