The ruling on praying without pronouncing the letter ṭāʾ in al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, when I begin reciting al-Fatihah, I rush through it. And when I reach the verse "the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor," I do not pronounce the letter ṭāʾ. What is the ruling on my prayer? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
My brother, reciting Surat al-Fatihah in the prayer is a pillar of the prayer; it is not valid without it, and it is obligatory to recite it in its entirety. If one omits a letter from it, the prayer is not valid. Even if one omits a shaddah (emphasis) from the emphatic letters in it, his prayer is not valid. So you must be careful about this, and recite al-Fatihah clearly, without rushing, and pronounce the letters, letting the letters come out as they naturally should, without leaving anything out. Yes.
