Qunut for calamities: Is it performed in all prayers or only in the loud prayers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is Qunut for calamities performed in the five daily prayers, or is it specific to the loud prayers?
The Shaykh : It is not established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Qunut in all five daily prayers. It is reported that he performed Qunut specifically in Maghrib and Fajr. The matter is broad in this regard, but in my opinion, restricting it to Maghrib and Fajr is better and more blessed, so that people do not become bored. You know that people do not have the desire or the feeling of grief and pain regarding what is happening to our Muslim brothers. So they might find this supplication burdensome and find the prayer with the imam burdensome if it is restricted to Maghrib and Isha. I hope that good has been achieved as the Sunnah brought it. Yes.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : As for if he performs Qunut in Maghrib and Fajr, does he... so that people do not become bored?
The Shaykh : The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Qunut for a month in Maghrib and Fajr. He performed Qunut for a month. Yes.
