Summary
In the Shafie school, reciting qunut nazilah is recommended in all obligatory prayers other than Fajr when there is a need. The need covers times of crisis affecting Muslims, such as fear, drought, plague or locust attacks. Without such a need, there is no qunut in obligatory prayers other than Fajr. Imam Nawawi mentions three views and states that the sound view is that qunut is recited in all obligatory prayers during a calamity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukumnya, sunat di sisi mazhab Syafie membaca doa Qunut Nazilah dalam semua solat fardhu selain dari Subuh jika ada keperluan.
