Since qunut is a recommended practice in times of calamity, is it permissible to restrict it to the prayers recited aloud only?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, our Shaykh, since qunut is a recommended practice in times of calamity, is it permissible for us to perform it in only some of these prayers? For example, restricting it to Fajr, Maghrib, and 'Isha'—the prayers recited aloud?
The Shaykh : Why restrict it? Why restrict it? If there is a valid reason.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : We say: it is permissible. But if the reason is political, such as accommodating the common people or the like, we say: it is not permissible; because restricting it requires a valid reason.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Why did you restrict these prayers to the exclusion of the other prayers?
The questioner : Perhaps more people gather in them.
The Shaykh : Perhaps what?
The questioner : More people gather in them, and they are prayers recited aloud.
The Shaykh : ... you say.
