The most evident opinion is that Qunūt al-Nawāzil (supplication during calamities) is legislated for an individual in all prayers, especially Fajr and Maghrib. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: "One does not perform Qunūt except in Witr, unless a calamity befalls the Muslims, in which case every worshipper should perform Qunūt in all prayers, but it is more emphasized in Fajr and Maghrib." The (school of thought) has differed regarding Qunūt al-Nawāzil: is it exclusive to the ruler, or his deputy, or the Imam of the mosque's congregation, or every worshipper? Sheikh Taqī al-Dīn chose the last opinion.
