What the ma'mum says when sending blessings upon the Prophet during the qunut

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. Coffee. The questioner says: If the imam says at the end of the qunut, "O Allah, send blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad," should I say "Ameen" or should I send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
No, saying "Ameen" is not sufficient; rather, you should send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because this is a command from Allah:
O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:56]
He did not say, "Say Ameen." Yes, so you send blessings upon him. Yes.
