The ruling on saying Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim before the takbir of ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah is with you. This questioner asks, saying: What is the ruling on the one who says Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim before he begins his prayer, then says the takbir and starts the prayer?

Answer:
This has not been reported. It has not been reported that one says the Basmalah before the takbir. Rather, one says it after the opening supplication, after finishing the opening supplication following the takbir of ihram. One comes with the opening supplication, then seeks refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaytan, then says Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim. This is the place for the Basmalah. As for before the takbir of ihram, this has not been reported to my knowledge.
