The ruling on reciting a surah after al-Fatihah in the last two rak'ahs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the Sunnah has been established regarding reciting a surah after al-Fatihah in the 'Asr prayer, which consists of two and a half rak'ahs.
Answer:
In the last two rak'ahs, as you heard, one restricts oneself to al-Fatihah. This is the view of the majority of scholars. Some scholars held that one recites something from the Qur'an after al-Fatihah, but this has not been established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
