Q.
When making the qunut for a peril is it required that the du'a is
said out loud with the hands raised? Are only our qunuts said
silently? Also, when joining the Imam in the second rakat of Isha, do
I make the tashahhuds with him? I am very grateful to Allah to have
your assistance. May He reward you with good
Ma Salaama

In the view of Imam Malik, the only time hands are to be raised for
du'a is during the prayer for rain. Group dhikr and du'a is
considered to be disliked in our madhhab even though a great many
Maliki scholars have taken the view of the majority that it is
permissible in both cases.
Part of the rationale is that anytime du'a is done publicly one runs
the risk of it not being sincere. For that reason, Imam Malik
disliked group du'a, dhikr, and Qur'anic recitation; also, because it
wasn't the norm in Medina during his time.
Other than that, it is recommended to say the qunut du'a inaudibly in
our school, although it is permissible to say it audibly.
