The ruling on supplication before bowing in the qunut
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
There is also the issue of people focusing on the matter of supplication before bowing in the qunut. Should the imam choose to do it once and then not do it another time?
The Shaykh:
No, he is not in error. He does not seek out a specific, comprehensive direction, but rather, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us, he should add to it whatever is easy. He says, “O Allah, guide me among those You have guided,” and adds whatever comprehensive supplications are easy for him, just as he added the command, “O Allah, guide me among those You have guided.”
The questioner:
Yes, meaning if he recites the supplications.
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner:
Comprehensive supplications, such that he is moderate and does not lengthen them, making them pleasant.
The Shaykh:
There is no lengthening in them, nor any hardship for the people.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
