📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 339

📚 Tahdhib, Vol. 2, p. 315
Ali ibn Muhammad said: I wrote to Imam Askari, peace be upon him, and asked about qunut; the Imam said: If there is an extreme necessity (i.e., taqiyyah), do not raise your hands and say three times: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful"!
✅ In the above and other narrations, the performance of qunut is commanded in all prayers, and it is also referred to as an obligatory sunnah, and they have said that whoever leaves qunut out of disinterest or intentionally, there is no prayer for him.
Most of the Sunnis do not believe in qunut, and some only believe in it for the witr prayer, and some of them only for the morning prayer, and some of them only permit it in times of distress, such as an epidemic or drought. It is even narrated from Abu Hanifa, may Allah curse him, that he said: Qunut is not performed in any prayer except the witr prayer. From the Shiite narrations, such as narrations 10 and 11 and others, it is clear that the companions were forced to practice taqiyyah from the Sunnis regarding qunut, and the reason for taqiyyah is clear for the few narrations that state there is no qunut in prayers, or that it is exclusive to the morning prayer.
