Question:
Is there a basmalah and seeking refuge in Allah for every rak'ah when reciting al-Fatihah, or the surah that follows it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2], and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. Seeking refuge in Allah and the basmalah are recommended after performing the opening supplication. After the takbir of ihram, one begins with the transmitted opening supplication, saying: “I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” As for the remaining rak'ahs, he repeats the basmalah before reciting al-Fatihah, but he does not recite it aloud; he says it quietly, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not recite “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful” aloud. What is authentic from him (peace and blessings be upon him), and from Abu Bakr and 'Umar, is that they would begin the prayer with “All praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds.” They did not recite “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful” aloud.
As for seeking refuge in Allah, it is sufficient in the first rak'ah after the opening supplication, and he does not repeat it in every rak'ah. No,
