The Ruling on Reciting the Basmala When Reading from the Middle of a Surah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is the Basmala prescribed when I read from the middle of a surah?

Answer:
No. The Basmala is in the first part of the surah, and it is not prescribed in the middle of the recitation or in the middle of the surah, except that it came in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
(30) Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it reads: 'In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, (31) Be not haughty with meإِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَيَّ
[An-Naml 27:30-31]
, so it is part of a verse in this surah. Other than that, it is only in the first part of the surah. Yes.
