Summary
The qunut nazilah is recited when Muslims face a major calamity and against disbelieving and apostate enemies fought within a jihad permitted by the Shariah. The fatwa states that no hadith narration or scholarly opinion permits reciting it against Muslims themselves. It is therefore not permissible under any circumstances, especially over ordinary disagreements such as in politics, since it leads to extremism and excess in religion.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, perbuatan membaca doa qunut nazilah ke atas orang Islam, tidak kira ia menjadi musuh atau lawan sesama umat Islam, adalah tidak dibolehkan dalam apa jua keadaan.
