Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man has made it a habit to recite Surat al-Fatihah one hundred times daily, and he says, "I feel at ease reciting it this way." Is his action valid?
Answer:
There is no evidence for this number. Reciting al-Fatihah is not prescribed as part of the daily recitation (wird). What is prescribed is reciting Surat al-Ikhlas and the two protective surahs, and the Verse of the Throne. Reciting al-Ikhlas and the two protective surahs is what is prescribed. As for reciting al-Fatihah, it is not reported that it is recited in the daily recitation; rather, it is recited in the prayer. Yes.
