Is it permissible to recite qunut in the prayer to supplicate for our brothers in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding, Shaykh, qunut in a crisis, meaning is it permissible, for example, for us now in Jordan or in Kuwait or wherever we are, to recite qunut in a crisis for our brothers in Bosnia, the afflicted ones there?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is permissible, although I believe that such qunut does not benefit. What benefits is defending Muslims in all the lands of the world with all the strength possible. And we do not see any of this, because Muslims today, as you know, are in the state described by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):. As for the principle, it is permissible to supplicate for oppressed Muslims, that is clear.
The questioner : Yes, exactly. Now, Shaykh, many people came to us, meaning, exactly one week before my arrival in Jordan, young men from Bosnia and Herzegovina went there and came back, meaning they saw the reality of the situation there. They said, meaning, from the massacres, the strange thing we see before us, meaning morning and evening.
The Shaykh : Yes, what does this have to do with your question and my answer?
The questioner : That qunut, meaning, we in Kuwait pray in some mosques, meaning we call it qunut of the crisis.
The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you, you are wasting my time, not just your time. What is the benefit of this talk? I have already answered your question that this qunut is prescribed. So now, what do you want from this talk? Move on for other questions.
The questioner : It is permissible, meaning the qunut.
The Shaykh : Did I not tell you?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is permissible, although I believe that such qunut does not benefit. What benefits is defending Muslims in all the lands of the world with all the strength possible. And we do not see any of this, because Muslims today, as you know, are in the state described by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
Like the foam of a flood
