Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is meant by the statement in the hadith:Sahih Muslim 399c?
Answer:
Yes, do you mean "or at the end of it"? The beginning of the recitation is well known, meaning they do not start al-Fatihah with Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim. As for the end, it likely means after al-Fatihah, if he intends to read from the Qur'an after al-Fatihah, meaning he does not recite the Basmala aloud, neither before al-Fatihah nor after al-Fatihah if he intends to read a surah after it. Yes.
