[Al-Kafirun 109:1]
and
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
recited?

The Shaykh:
Results.

The questioner:
When are "Say, O you disbelievers" and "Say, He is Allah, One" recited?

The Shaykh:
I did not understand, O Sa'id.

The questioner:
When is "Say, O you disbelievers" recited? Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh:
It is recited in the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr and the regular voluntary prayer of Maghrib; this is the recommended practice (sunnah). Likewise, it is recited in the two rak'ahs of tawaf, because they encompass the two types of tawhid: "Say, O you disbelievers" is tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship), and "Say, He is Allah, One" is tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship). Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the questioner says: One who said the word.

The Shaykh:
These three occasions are in the regular voluntary prayer of Fajr, in the regular voluntary prayer of Maghrib, and in the two rak'ahs of tawaf. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Likewise, it is recited in the shaf' and the witr, from the witr. Yes.
