Question:

Everyone, for those of you who have been doing qunut Nazilah, are you stopping now because of the ceasefire? What’s your thinking?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

Qunut Nazilah is recited at times of hardship and difficulties, and once the calamities are over, then it is better that it should not be recited[i].

Only Allah knows best.

وَإِذَا زَالَ السَّبَبُ انْتَهَى الْقُنُوتُ فِي النَّازِلَةِ كَمَا فَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

When the calamity ends, the Qunut for the Nazila also ends, as practiced by the Prophet (peace be upon him)
