Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and reward you with the best reward for the Muslims. The questioner asks: Is there a devotional wisdom behind the fact that Surat al-Fatihah is repeated in all prayers?

Answer:
The wisdom is clear. The wisdom in its repetition in every rak'ah, and in all prayers, is what it contains of the great supplications that you need more than you need food and drink, if you reflect upon them.
