Ruling 1103 — Prayer (Ṣalāh)

In all the obligatory and recommended prayers, it is recommended to perform qunūt before the rukūʿ of the second rakʿah. However, in the shafʿ prayer, one must perform qunūt with the intention of rajāʾ. In the witr prayer – despite it being only one rakʿah – it is recommended to perform qunūt before rukūʿ. In the Friday prayer, each rakʿah has a qunūt. Ṣalāt al‑āyāt has five qunūts. The Eid al-Fiṭr and Eid al-Aḍḥā prayers each have a number of qunūts in the two rakʿahs, details of which will be explained in their own place.
