Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, we observe that some of our brothers, in the du'a' of qunut, say "Subhanak" when Allah the Exalted is mentioned, as well as other phrases such as "haqqan" and "wa nashhad." What is the ruling on that?
Answer : It appears that there is nothing wrong with this. That is, there is nothing wrong if the imam makes a du'a' in the qunut that calls for tasbih; it is permissible for the ma'mum behind the imam to say tasbih. For in the hadith of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet and the ma'mum said "Subhanak," so there is no blame in this. Also, when he makes a du'a', he says "Ameen" to his du'a'.
Answer : It appears that there is nothing wrong with this. That is, there is nothing wrong if the imam makes a du'a' in the qunut that calls for tasbih; it is permissible for the ma'mum behind the imam to say tasbih. For in the hadith of Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet
(peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray at night, and whenever he passed a verse of tasbih, he would say tasbih. So when the imam said, "Indeed, he whom You have given protection will not be humbled, and he whom You have opposed will not be exalted,"
صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يصلي من الليل وكان إذا مر بآية تسبيح سبح، فإذا قال الإمام إنه لا يذل من وليت ولا يعز من عاديت
