The ruling on reciting a surah before al-Fatihah in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: When a person says the takbir of entering prayer, then he begins to recite a surah from the Qur'an without reciting al-Fatihah, and then he realizes his mistake and recites al-Fatihah, what is the ruling in that case?
Answer:
If one performs a prescribed act in a place where it is not prescribed, it is recommended that he recite the taslim, and this is because he recited before al-Fatihah, which is performing a prescribed act in a place where it is not prescribed, since the place for reciting from the Qur'an is after al-Fatihah, so it is recommended for him to recite the taslim, but his prayer is not invalidated.
