The questioner : Is it permissible to recite qunut after the last rak'ah of the Fajr prayer?
The Shaykh : As for qunut in the obligatory prayers, including qunut in the Fajr prayer, the correct view is that it is a religious innovation (bid'ah), unless there is a reason for it, such as a calamity befalling the Muslims or something similar of great importance. In that case, one recites qunut not only in Fajr, but in Fajr and other prayers as well.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when he recited qunut for a month, supplicating against a tribe of the Arabs, and then he (peace and blessings be upon him) left it off.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Yes.
