Reciting al-Fatihah to fulfill needs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This is another questioner who says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the validity of reciting Surat al-Fatihah one hundred times or ten times to have one's needs fulfilled? If this is not established, what is the established practice from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the fulfillment of needs?
Answer:
What is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and what is in the Qur'an is supplication: one calls upon Allah the Exalted to make easy for him what he needs, to help him, and to provide for him, and Allah is near and responsive. As for reciting al-Fatihah, there is no basis for it in this manner. If one prays two rak'ahs and then supplicates to his Lord to provide for his need, that is good. Yes.
