The ruling on one who omits letters from al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. As for the one who does not make an excuse for speeding up his recitation, he asks about the ruling on the prayer of Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
His prayer is valid, but he has done wrong, unless he neglected the recitation of al-Fatihah. That is, if he left out some of the letters of Surat al-Fatihah, meaning that his speed led him to drop some of the letters of Surat al-Fatihah, then his prayer is not valid. This is because the recitation of al-Fatihah is a pillar of the prayer, and he must recite it well, observing its letters and the rules of recitation as required. So if he drops a letter from the letters of al-Fatihah, his prayer is not valid.
