Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If the imam recites qunut every day in the Fajr prayer, and I see that this is a bid'ah (religious innovation), what is obligatory for me? And am I permitted to pray with him?
Answer:
Pray with him, yes, and follow him. Pray with him and follow him, because qunut is a supplication, and this is his school of jurisprudence, so you follow his school in this matter.
