Reciting Surat al-Ikhlas in every rak'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to recite Surat al-Ikhlas in every rak'ah of the prayer, given that one of the Companions did so? One of my brothers informed me that one of the students of knowledge issued a fatwa to him to this effect.
Answer:
Yes, some of the Companions used to recite it. One of them used to lead his companions in prayer during travel, and after finishing his recitation, he would recite Surat al-Ikhlas. They came and asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he summoned him and asked him, "Why do you do this?" He said, "Because it is the description of the Most Merciful, and I love it." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him:Sahih Muslim 2567a So there is no harm in that. However, if it causes confusion for the people, do not do what causes confusion. But if those with you and your companions are students of knowledge who know this, there is no harm. But beware of causing confusion. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
