Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what does one do when he enters the mosque and the imam is in the state of qunut?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
What does one do when he enters the mosque and the imam is in the state of qunut?
The Shaykh:
The state of qunut: qunut in the obligatory prayer, and there is no qunut in the voluntary prayer, except in witr. Between the questioner and [the answer]: if the qunut was in the obligatory prayer, he enters with them if it remains. He misses the rak'ah if the qunut was after the bowing. As for if the qunut is before the bowing, as some scholars do, then he catches up with the rak'ah. So, if it is after the bowing, he enters with them and misses the rak'ah.
