Is the denial by some of the religious innovation of qunut in the Fajr prayer correct?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And I was going to askThe Shaykh : about some of what happened today. I spoke out when I asked about qunut in front of the common people and the general public, saying that it is a religious innovation. So some of the brothers said, "You should not say that this is a religious innovation." I do not know if I answered correctly or if I made a mistake?
The Shaykh : ... because they see their situation... and he is performing qunut... so you surprise him with the word "religious innovation" and he does not know what a religious innovation is. So this is a mistake in style. Therefore, you should correct the word "religious innovation" with another phrase that expresses the reality. You say that this qunut is not established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) nor from the righteous predecessors. Those who criticized you from among some of the brothers criticized you in your style, not in your intention.
