Is the basmalah a verse of al-Fatihah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is the Basmala anything other than a rising?

The Shaykh:
Hmm?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
No, the correct view is that it is not part of al-Fatihah or any other surah; it is an independent verse before the surahs, revealed before the surahs. Peace be upon you.
