Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When some people recite Surat al-Duha, they say "Bismillah" and "Allahu Akbar" before it, or just "Allahu Akbar," and they do the same for the surahs that follow it, up to Surat al-Nas. What is the ruling on this? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, this is the method of some reciters regarding the interpretation of the last surahs of the Qur'an. Some scholars hold this view, and some reciters practice it. Whoever does so has done nothing wrong. Praise be to Allah.
