Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I hope you will inform us of the ruling on the opening of the prayer, that is, the opening supplication, and what is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
The opening of the prayer is a recommended practice (sunnah). If one leaves it out, he owes nothing. If he recites al-Fatihah immediately after the takbir of ihram, he owes nothing, but he has left behind a recommended practice. It is recommended that after the takbir of ihram, he recite the opening supplication. This is the ruling on the opening of the prayer: it is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. Yes.
