If you seek refuge from Satan at the beginning of the prayer, do you seek refuge a second time after rising from the tashahhud to the third rak'ah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. If you establish the prayer, say the takbir of ihram, and seek refuge from Satan, and then at the first tashahhud, or after the first tashahhud, you rise for the third rak'ah, do you seek refuge a second time, or is the first one sufficient?

Answer:
Seeking refuge is done after the opening supplication and before the basmalah in the first rak'ah; this is the most certain. If you seek refuge in the remaining rak'ahs before the recitation, there is no harm. And if you limit yourself to the seeking of refuge in the first rak'ah, that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah.
