The ruling on not beginning with praise in the du'a of qunut
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And we benefit from your knowledge, Honorable Shaykh. Not beginning with praise, Honorable Shaykh, in the du'a of qunut, despite the command to do so, and that it is one of the etiquettes of supplication.
The Shaykh:
It is as it was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger taught al-Hasan this supplication, so one should suffice with what was reported. If he recites the narration of 'Umar: "O Allah, we seek Your help and guidance, we believe in You and place our trust in You, we praise You with all good and we thank You and do not deny You. O Allah, You alone we worship, and for You we pray and prostrate, and to You we strive and hasten. We hope for Your mercy and we fear Your punishment. Indeed, Your severe punishment is attached to the disbelievers," and then he says "O Allah, guide us" to the end, then that is also good. Yes.
The questioner:
Praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Raising the hands in supplication, Honorable Shaykh, when does the Shaykh do this?
The Shaykh:
I mean, as a completion of the answer, if you please. Also, the prayer, this supplication is in the prayer, and the prayer is begun with the recitation of al-Fatihah, so beginning with praise to Allah is present in the prayer. Yes.
