Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to another caller. Abu 'Abdullah is with us, please go ahead. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. May Allah keep you in good health, Shaykh Khalid. Yes. I have a simple question for you, my master. Please go ahead. Regarding the last two rak'ahs of 'Asr and Dhuhr, after the first tashahhud, should I recite something other than al-Fatihah from the mu'awwidhat if there is a gap? Okay, another question? No, thank you. Please go ahead, Shaykh Salih.
Answer:
Drowsiness is not by your choice and it does not harm the prayer. If it is drowsiness that overtook you during the prayer, then it does not harm, and this is not by your choice. So complete your prayer, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
