The Imaam will recite it after the Ruku and it is Sunnat for the followers to follow by stretching out their hands in front of their chest (as in du’a). The Qunoot-e-Naazila may be recited in all prayers besides Jummu’ah. If people are affected by plague, then Qunoot-e-Naazila cannot be recited for them. It may be recited softly in the Fajr Salat only and not in any of the other prayers, even though the need arises because of difficult and severe conditions.Īccording to the Hanbali Madhab, Qunoot Naazila can be recited during difficult situations with the exception of plague.

This Qunoot Naazila can only be recited by the Imaam in the Fajr Salat after Ruku before going down for Sajdah in the second Rakaat.

How much and what is allowed to make dua during this act?Ī.)

Majority of the people behind him are Hanafi although Shafii and Maliki are also there. He is also reciting many other du’as in addition to Qanoot-e Naazilah. Our Imam has started adding Qanoot-e-Naazilah in every salat including Zuhr and Asr prayers where recitation is not done loudly but he makes du’a in the last rak’at loudly, and he does the same thing in other three prayers too.
