Both HRT cars will be allowed to start Sunday's Monaco grand prix but Sergio Perez stays at the hospital.
Vitantonio Liuzzi's car could not be repaired for qualifying after his morning crash, while Narain Karthikeyan did not complete a lap due to a suspension problem.
It was believed that due to the Hispania cars' questionable practice pace, the stewards would declare they fell afoul the 107 pc qualifying rule.
But HRT confirmed: "Both cars will be on the grid tomorrow after the decision made by the FIA stewards."
Meanwhile, Sergio Perez escaped serious injury in his high speed crash during qualifying in Monaco on Saturday
The Mexican rookie's Sauber team announced that doctors in the Princess Grace hospital diagnosed Perez, 21, with concussion and a sprained thigh but "no broken bones" or "further injuries".
"The reason for the accident will be investigated and the team will update the media as soon as it has any further information," said the Swiss team.
FIA press delegate Matteo Bonciani on Saturday said Sergio Perez is spending the night in the local Princess Grace hospital. The news is a blow to the Mexican's hopes of taking to the grid on Sunday.
"His condition is currently reported as 'encouraging'. He will remain in hospital overnight," said Bonciani.
