Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What are the conditions for the supplication for calamities, the qunut for calamities? And when is it obligatory to make this supplication?
Answer:
Calamities are the events that befall the Muslims, such as the enemy gaining power over them, and every general affliction like an epidemic, except for the plague. One does not make qunut for the plague because it is a mercy, as mentioned in the hadith. As for other general epidemics, one makes qunut for their removal, and it is conditioned upon the permission of the one in authority to pray for it, and the permission of the one in authority based on a fatwa from the scholars of knowledge. Yes?

May Allah reward you,
