Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable scholars, the questioner asks: Is the Basmala recited in every rak'ah of the prayer, or only in the first rak'ah?
Answer:
Before the surahs, yes, you recite the Basmala before the surah, whether it is Surat al-Fatihah or the other surahs. At the beginning of every surah, you recite the Basmala, except for Surat al-Bara'ah; Surat al-Bara'ah does not begin with "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim." As for the rest of the surahs, a person recites the Basmala before them, whether in prayer or outside of prayer. This is recommended. Yes.
