The Ruling on Omitting the Recitation of al-Fatihah in the First Rak'ah and Forgetting It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have some questions here. One question says: At the takbir of ihram, I did not recite al-Fatihah; instead, I recited the tashahhud. While finishing the ruku' in the first rak'ah, I remembered that I had not recited al-Fatihah. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
The ruling is that this rak'ah is not valid. The rak'ah that follows takes its place; it becomes the first rak'ah, and you build upon it. Complete your prayer, then perform the prostration for forgetfulness, either before the taslim or after the taslim. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you,
