Qunut in the Fajr Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, our brother Abdullah, says: I hope the Honorable Shaykh will clarify the qunut in the Fajr prayer. Is there any evidence regarding it?

Answer:
The qunut in the Fajr prayer is prescribed in times of calamity. If a calamity befalls the Muslims, such as an enemy besieging them or the outbreak of a plague other than the bubonic plague, they recite the qunut in the Fajr prayer and in other obligatory prayers, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do so. As for times other than calamities, the qunut in the Fajr prayer is not prescribed. Yes.
