Qunut for the Polytheists Throughout the Year and the Ruling on Jihad

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In this time, the evil of the polytheists has increased against Islam and the Muslims. They kill, shed blood, fight them, and attack their beliefs. Their aggression in their thoughts and their conspiracies against the Muslims are clear. So, should one recite qunut for them throughout the year, even if the qunut is not continuous, until their evil is removed?

Answer:
There is no doubt that if the one in authority sees that qunut for the Muslims is appropriate, it is established, even if the time is long; there is no harm in it. As for the polytheists and disbelievers, that they attack the Muslims—this is strange. And Allah, you do not see this: Allah has made us greater. The polytheists and disbelievers will continue to fight the Muslims until the Day of Resurrection, until they turn the Muslims away from what is in them.
Therefore, Allah legislated fighting the disbelievers and waging war against them to protect [the Muslims] from their evil and their aggression. Meanwhile, some of the scholars of the modern era say that Islam is not a religion of fighting, nor is it a religion of jihad; it is only defense. This is wrong. Islam came with the call and came with jihad to spread across the earth and to cut off the circle of disbelief. Because if we stop fighting them, they will not stop from us. If you observe now, when the Muslims left jihad, the disbelievers began fighting the Muslims in every place. If there had been jihad from the Muslims, what has happened now from the disbelievers—the killing and displacement, and so on—would not have occurred. Yes. They strike the Muslims, kill them, destroy fortresses and houses, and demolish villages and cities. And they say that Islam is a religion of faith in a book. Islam is a religion of peace. Meaning, it implies that Islam is weak and that it is not [a religion of strength]. If the disbelievers fight to defend their disbelief and misguidance, how would they not fight the Muslims to defend their religion and creed? By Allah, He commanded them to do jihad and made it obligatory upon them. The disbelievers only dared [to attack] when the Muslims left jihad and said that it is a religion of peace, a religion of brotherhood, a religion of love, and a noble religion. How [can that be]? We ask Allah for safety.
