Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: There is a mosque in a hospital, and the patients have asked the regular imam to supplicate for them in the qunut for calamities. Is it permissible for him to supplicate for them and single them out in his supplication?
Answer:
No, this is not a calamity. Sickness is common among people, and it is not one of the calamities that befall the Muslims from an enemy, or from a plague, or from something else like the plague. Those are the calamities. As for sickness, this is an ordinary matter. Yes.
