YOGYAKARTA - Every Muslim certainly understands that there is a substitute for qunut prayers during Fajr prayer which can be an alternative, especially for Muslims who have not memorized the qunut prayer.

The dawn qunut prayer is a prayer that is usually read before or after the rukuk (i'tidal) at the last rakaat of the dawn prayer. However, the fiqih scholars had differences of opinion in explaining the law of reading the qunut prayer at dawn prayers.

Quoted from the book Fiqh The Most Complete Prayer by Abu Abbas Zain Musthofa Al-Basuruweni, reading the qunut prayer during the Fajuh prayer according to Imam Abu Hanifah and Imam Ahmad was not destroyed. According to Imam Malik and Syafi'I, the sunnah of the law reads the qunut prayer during the dawn prayer.

Imam an-Nawawi in the book al-Adzkar also revealed that according to Mazhab Syafi'i, qunut during his Fajr prayer was sunnah muakad. If left behind, the prayer does not become canceled, but is deemed to prostrate.

Therefore, for adherents of Mazhab Syafi'i and Maliki, qunut is a prayer that must be read by every Muslim while working on the Fajr prayer. However, what if you have not memorized the recitation of the qunut prayer? Below will explain the replacement reading that you can do.

In the book Fiqhul Islam wa Adillatuhu Juz 2, Syaikh Wahbah az-Zuhaili explains that the cleric Mazhab Syafi'i allows to replace the qunut prayer during Fajr prayer with other types of reading, with the dhikr record containing prayers and praise.

The example of dhikr which can be a substitute for the qunut prayer is the prayer 'Allahummaghfir lii yaa Ghafuur', because the sentence 'highfir lii' is classified as a prayer, while 'yaa Ghaffur' includes praise.

You can also replace it with dhikr 'warhamnii yaa rahiim' or 'waltuf bii yaa lathiif'. However, according to Mazhab Syafi'i, it is more important if you continue to read the prayer of Kuhasummah's qut prayer until it is finished.

Meanwhile, the Hanafiyah cleric explained that for people who cannot speak Arabic or do not memorize the recitation of the qunut prayer, they are allowed to replace it with the words 'Allahummaghfir lii' or 'Yaa Badminton' three times.

In addition, it is also permissible to replace it with a prayer contained in the Qur'an letter Al-Baqarah verse 201, namely:

Rabbanmen ERADICATING kataWAW wa fil-mendatin bukti fid-dun-ymenurusanasaw wa fil-menyakikhirati teriasanataw wa qin marijuk' amenuhban-nmenmen.

Meaning: "O Allah, give us goodness in the life of the world and the hereafter and keep us away from the fire of hell."

Even though it is allowed to read a substitute for the qunut prayer, Muslims who adhere to Mazhab Syafi'i are still advised to memorize and read the full Fajr qunut prayer. Below is the recitation of the dawn qunut prayer taught by the Prophet SAW:

Early Allahummah fi man hadait, wa 'afini fiman 'afait, wa tawallani fi man tawillait, wa barik li fi ma a'thait, wa qini syarra ma qadhait, fa innaka taqdhi wa la yuqdha 'alaik, wa innahu la yazillu man wa lait, wa la ya'izzu man 'adait, tabarakta rabbana wa ta'alait, fa lakal hamdu a'la ma qadhait, wa astagfiruka wa attubu ilaik, wa shallallahu 'ala sayyidina muhammadin muhammyil ummiyyi wa 'ala instead of wa shahbihi wa sallam.

Meaning: "O Allah, show me as those whom You have given guidance to. Give me health as those whom You have given health. Keep me as the people whom You have protected. Give blessings to me for what You have given. Save me from the dangers of evil that You have determined. Your hands are punishing and not punished. Do not insult the person whom You have made a leader. It is not noble to be the enemy. You are the Holy God, our God and the Highest. For You, all praise is above what You have determined. I ask You for forgiveness and repent to You. May Allah pour mercy and blessings on our visited the Prophet Muhammad SAW, his family, and his companions."

In his book, Wahbah az-Zuhaili also gives a prayer opinion, namely being destroyed reading the prayer beads of the Prophet SAW at the end of the qunut prayer. This opinion is based on a number of hadiths narrated by Imam Ahmad, Abdur Razzaq, and ad-Daruquthni.
