Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks His Eminence the Shaykh, along with the other questioners, about the ruling on qunut in the Fajr prayer?
Answer:
Nothing has been established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this. The hadiths that some scholars mention, stating that he used to perform qunut in Fajr, are weak. Ibn al-Qayyim, if they were authentic, interpreted them to mean that the intention is prolonging the standing; because qunut is prolonging the standing, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to prolong his standing after bowing somewhat in the last rak'ah of Fajr. However, the hadiths are weak. He only used to perform qunut in witr, in the qunut of witr. Likewise, he used to perform qunut in times of calamity. When a calamity befalls the Muslims, he would perform qunut in the morning prayer, and in other prayers, when a calamity occurs... war against the Muslims, or people who transgress against them from highway robbers, or otherwise; qunut is prescribed in Fajr, and in other prayers, yes.
