Summary
It is recommended (sunat) for congregants to say amin to the qunut nazilah recited by the imam during prayer. The ruling relies on the hadith of Ibn Abbas RA narrated by Abu Daud, which states that those behind the Prophet SAW said amin to his qunut. Al-Nawawi in Minhaj al-Talibin also states that the follower says amin to the imam's supplication, including during qunut nazilah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Disunatkan makmum mengaminkan qunut nazilah yang dibaca oleh imam ketika solat.
