The ruling on omitting the basmalah when reciting al-Fatihah

Question:
The listener Taj al-Din Bilal asks and says: Does reciting al-Fatihah in prayer without the basmalah invalidate the prayer?

Answer:
It does not invalidate the prayer, because on the correct view, the basmalah is not a verse of al-Fatihah, but rather an independent verse that is recommended to be recited before every surah except al-Bara'ah. It is an independent verse that is recommended to be recited before every surah except al-Bara'ah, and it is not part of al-Fatihah. So if one recites al-Fatihah, his prayer is valid. If he recites al-Fatihah without "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim," his prayer is valid according to the correct view. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good
