Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: In the Fajr prayer, in the final rak'ah, the imam raises his hands and makes supplication, and those behind him say: Ameen, they affirm it. What is your opinion on this, Your Eminence, Shaykh Abdulaziz?
Answer:
The Sunnah is not to perform qunut in Fajr except in times of calamity, if a calamity befalls them, such as drought, and they seek aid, or supplication against the enemy; there is no harm in that, an enemy that has befallen the Muslims. As for making qunut a habit in Fajr; the correct view is that it is not prescribed, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do that except in times of need.
But if you pray with a person who performs qunut; there is no harm in affirming with them; because they have a doubt (shubhah), there is scholarly disagreement on this issue, so if you pray with a congregation that performs qunut in Fajr; there is no harm in praying with them, and there is no harm in affirming the supplication with them; because they have a doubt in that, and because some scholars have seen that. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
