Summary
The Qunut supplication in the second rak'ah's i'tidal of Fajr is sunnah ab'adh, and a prostration of forgetfulness is recommended if it is missed or deliberately omitted. A person praying alone recites it silently. In congregation, the imam recites it in the plural form and aloud throughout the supplication, praises and blessings upon the Prophet, according to the established view. The congregation says amin aloud during the supplication and blessings; during the praises it is preferable to follow the imam quietly, though remaining silent or saying asyhadu is also allowed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Selain itu, disunatkan bagi imam untuk membaca doa Qunut secara jahar iaitu dengan suara yang nyaring (didengari makmum) sepanjang doa Qunut tersebut mengikut pandangan yang muktamad.
