I'm not sure. Black king rushing to 2-row could stop white from reaching C1 by moving to B2. Without occupying C1, white cannot stalemate.
Now what if white plays King to H1. Black queen cannot capture because that's a stalemate, and cannot get out of the way because it's a check. But I'm not sure how the game goes from there.
If Kh1, Black loses if they don't accept the stalemate. It's otherwise zugzwang, any move besides Qxf2 results in losing their queen.
