Question : May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on saying "Subhanak" when praising Allah in the supplication of qunut, such as in the phrase "You do not humiliate the one You befriend, nor do You honor the one You oppose"? Is it permissible for the follower to say "Subhanak"?
Answer : This is good, this is excellent, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray the night prayer, and when he passed a verse of glorification, he would glorify Allah; when he passed a verse of warning, he would seek refuge; and when he passed a verse of mercy, he would ask. It is permissible for the follower to say "Subhanak," whether in the supplication of qunut or when verses pass by him and he glorifies Allah, provided it does not distract him from listening to the imam. There is no harm in this, and it increases the presence of the heart, which is better than being absent-minded and not following the imam. Yes.
