Summary
The prayer remains valid when the names of the countries being prayed for are mentioned in Qunut Nazilah. According to the Shafii school, Qunut Nazilah is recommended when Muslims are afflicted by calamities such as war, epidemics and drought. The ruling relies on a hadith in al-Bukhari, where the Prophet, peace be upon him, named the tribes that betrayed and killed his companions in his qunut supplication.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka tidaklah menjadi kesalahan menyebut nama-nama negara yang didoakan dalam qunut nazilah dan sah solat yang dilakukan.
