Restricting the voluntary prayer to al-Fatihah only

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah preserve you, is it permissible to restrict the voluntary prayer to reciting al-Fatihah only, without a surah?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible. Reciting a surah or something from the Qur'an after al-Fatihah is a recommended practice (sunnah). If one does it, it is more complete, and if one does not, his prayer is valid.
