The Ruling on Qunut in the Fajr Prayer with a Loud Voice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: They say among us that the supplication of qunut in the Fajr prayer is recited with a loud voice. I read in the book *Fiqh al-Sunnah* by Sayyid Sabiq that qunut in the Fajr prayer is not prescribed except in times of calamity, when one performs qunut. What is the ruling regarding this in the other five prayers?
Answer:
The correct view is what Sayyid Sabiq said, as you mentioned regarding Sayyid Sabiq. The Sunnah is not to perform qunut in the Fajr prayer except in times of calamity, and likewise in the other prayers in times of calamity. If a war or similar incident befalls the Muslims, the imam and the followers perform qunut, asking Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) to lift it, to avert it from the Muslims, to support His religion, and to exalt His word, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform qunut in times of calamity.
As for persisting in qunut, such as qunut in the Fajr prayer without a cause, this is not prescribed. It is established from Sa'd ibn Tariq ibn Ashim that he said: I said to my father, "O my father! You prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and behind Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, and 'Ali. Did they perform qunut in the Fajr prayer?" He said, "O my son, you are an innovator." It was narrated by Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa'i, and Imam Ahmad with a good chain of narration.
The point is that this is the Sunnah: the Sunnah is to leave off qunut in the Fajr prayer except in times of calamity. If a calamity occurs, one performs qunut in the Fajr prayer and in the other prayers, as the Muslims did in the calamity of the occupation of Kuwait by the ruler of Iraq, and the resulting fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); the Muslims performed qunut in the prayers until Allah defeated the enemy, humiliated him, returned the land to its people, and supported the truth and its people. We ask Allah to support His religion and exalt His word.
