The ruling on not stopping at the ends of verses during recitation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, regarding the description of the verse in which Allah the Exalted says, "You alone we worship"[Al-Fatihah 1:6-7], meaning the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) — it is established that he used to stop at every verse. But if one of the imams, or some of them — may Allah guide us and them, or may Allah reward them all with good — intentionally does not stop at the verse "Guide us to the straight path" in the description of the two verses, and never stops there. And the second question, may Allah preserve you, is about prolonging the final prostration. The final prostration is always intentionally prolonged. Is this in accordance with the Sunnah? May Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
As for the recitation, stopping at the ends of verses in al-Fatihah and in other surahs is better, and it is the recitation of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If one does not stop at them and connects some of them with others, there is no harm in that, and praise be to Allah, this is permissible.
Shaykh, regarding the description of the verse in which Allah the Exalted says, "You alone we worship"
(6) Guide us to the straight path - (7) The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَAnswer:
