The questioner: As for the qunut in the Fajr prayer... the imam, and then?
The Shaykh: You have not asked anything new; 'Ukkashah preceded you in asking this!
The questioner: ... We detail every piece of evidence, meaning it is a religious innovation, so it has a ruling...?
The Shaykh: Your wording contradicted your intention; your wording contradicted your intention; your wording was the wording of the first questioner.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: The previous one, and I remind you of his saying (peace be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 722, but I understood your intention in the end; your intention was contrary to your wording. You must follow the imam even if he makes a mistake.
