The honorable Shaykh, some people actually lengthen the qunut and make the duration of the qunut and the time of the qunut longer than the time of the prayer. ?

The questioner : Your Eminence, some people actually lengthen the qunut, making the duration of the qunut or the time of the qunut longer than the time of the prayer?

The Shaykh : What is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the qunut for calamities is that it is a short qunut, supplicating for a group or against a group without lengthening it. However, if a person lengthens it in a way that does not cause hardship for the worshippers, and he sees in them a desire for this, and the supplication does not exceed what is related to the calamity, then there is nothing wrong with it. This is because persisting in supplication is among the prescribed matters. As far as I know, there is no prohibition from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding lengthening the qunut, except if it is burdensome for the worshippers. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you. This listener is Ibrahim from Damietta, residing in Makkah al-Mukarramah. He says, Your Eminence.
