Is it permissible to repeat the recitation of al-Fatihah in a single rak'ah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on reciting al-Fatihah twice in a single rak'ah?

Answer:
This is not permissible. Reciting al-Fatihah is a pillar of the prayer, and a pillar is not repeated; a pillar is not repeated. Therefore, it is not permissible to repeat al-Fatihah in a single rak'ah, because you are repeating a pillar of the prayer, and this is not permissible. However, if you made a mistake in al-Fatihah, or if a verse dropped from you, or if you dropped a letter from the letters of a verse, you repeat the verse in which the defect occurred; you repeat the verse in which the defect occurred. Yes.
