Restricting the voluntary prayers to al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is there anything required of me if I restrict myself to reciting al-Fatihah in the voluntary prayers?
Answer:
Al-Fatihah is a pillar; the prayer is not valid without it. Adding to it is a recommended practice (sunnah). If you leave off the recommended practice, you do not break your prayer, but it does not invalidate it.
