Doubt regarding the recitation of al-Fatihah in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Your question, Muhammad. May Allah keep you in good health. The first question: Sometimes I pray and forget that I recited al-Fatihah. I do not remember my words in al-Fatihah; I mean, I remember all the words, so I repeat it a second and third time.
The presenter:
Good, and the second question.
The questioner:
The second question: people are paying off the old Rajhi loan in exchange for taking interest and getting a new second loan. What is the ruling on this?
The presenter:
All right, thank you. Honorable Shaykh, he says that he prays, but if he forgets to recite al-Fatihah, or if he doubts whether he recited al-Fatihah,
The Shaykh:
If this is a matter of waswas (whispers of Satan), he should discard it and not pay attention to it. However, if he actually did not recite al-Fatihah or did not complete it, he must repeat it. Yes.
