Is it disliked to repeat al-Fatihah in prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, he says. Repeating al-Fatihah. He reads in the prayer, does he read al-Fatihah? It is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he read al-Fatihah?
The Shaykh : There is no distinction.
The questioner : The reason is that.
The Shaykh : I say, is there a distinction in this ruling, or is it absolute?
The questioner : There is no interpretation.
The Shaykh : There is no distinction. Okay.
The questioner : Yes, there is a distinction. For example, if the prayer is one of loud recitation and the person read it while forgetting, tell him to repeat it.
The Shaykh : This is an example, but give us a criterion. We need a criterion that covers this example.
The questioner : Because he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it. If it were prescribed for him to do it, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would have done it.
The Shaykh : Okay, yes.
The questioner : If it is for the sake of worship, it is disliked. But if it is not for the sake of worship, I found.
The Shaykh : What would be not for the sake of worship? What would it be?
The questioner : This is not the reason.
The Shaykh : For the sake of worship is clear, because it is not reported as the brother said, but not for the sake of worship, like what?
The questioner : That he reads it and forgets, like he reads it but without the presence of heart, so he wants to read it to have the presence of heart.
The Shaykh : Meaning, if making up for a mistake is required in it, like if he forgets to recite loudly in a prayer of loud recitation, or if he is not reflecting and wants to read it with reflection, then he does not read it because he has a reason, clear? Okay.
The Shaykh : There is no distinction.
The questioner : The reason is that.
The Shaykh : I say, is there a distinction in this ruling, or is it absolute?
