Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Sometimes I doubt in the secret prayer that I did not recite al-Fatihah. Is it permissible for me to repeat it?
Answer:
If you doubt whether you recited it, you must recite it to be certain, because it is a pillar and you must be certain that you recited it, unless this is a case of waswas (whispers of Satan) that recurs with you as waswas, in which case you leave it. Yes.
