The ruling on raising the voice in the du'a of qunut

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this person says: Cutting off the voice in the du'a of qunut, does this not contradict the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he said, “Call upon
upon yourselves, for you are calling uponعلى أنفسكم فإنكم تدعون
the All-Hearing,” and as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said? What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
As for the one praying alone, he does not raise his voice. As for the one praying alone, if he is making qunut for himself, he does not raise his voice. As for the imam, as for the imam, he must raise his voice so that the ma'mum (those praying behind him) can hear it. This does not fall under the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
restrain yourselvesاربعوا على أنفسكم
because his raising his voice is for the sake of making the ma'mum hear it. Yes, yes.
