Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is it obligatory for us to read short surahs after al-Fatihah in the rawatib, or do we read al-Fatihah only?
Answer:
The obligatory element and the pillar is Surat al-Fatihah, and whatever is added to it from the Qur'an in the first two rak'ahs is a recommended practice (sunnah), whether one recites verses, or a surah, or verses from a surah. And His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Muzzammil 73:20] Yes.
