The Supplication of Qunut and the Permission of the One in Authority
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I ask your permission, no harm, do not forget.
The Shaykh:
All right.
The questioner:
Also, from the questions with the Shaykh, he says: Is it true that the supplication of qunut does not require the permission of the one in authority?
The Shaykh:
The supplication is not prohibited; you may supplicate at all appropriate times, and it is not prohibited. As for the prayer, nothing is entered into it and nothing is added to it except by a reliable fatwa from the scholars who know the circumstances in which qunut is prescribed. So, in this prayer, nothing happens and nothing is added except by a legal fatwa from the competent authority that knows the justifications for qunut. Yes.
