Question

Is hypothesis is necessary for qualitative research?

Answer

Coming from a qualitative research background (although I had a quantitative in my masters) I have been told that hypothesis is mostly a quantitative research feature.
This is because when you set a hypothesis you set out to prove or disprove it, which is very much quantitative. Whereas in most qualitative research instead of prove/disprove, you try to explore or examine or analyse something. For example in critical qualitative research you explore the underneath inequalities of a seemingly regular world; in phenomenology, you describe and explain as what is happening in a social world etc. So I have always been encouraged to set Research Questions in qualitative research and Hypothesis in quantitative research.
Having said that, I also think when you have certain believes or observations about the world, in that case you set hypothesis to prove your observation.

Answer

in terms of qualitative research, the hypothesis is used in a statement format, and that statement consists of the problems that need to be investigated and there is also a condition like qualitative research should never have a null hypothesis. The next hypothesis plays an important role in testing and for giving the best outcomes.
so finally hypothesis is necessary for qualitative research.
