Is reciting al-Fatihah sufficient in prayer without reciting a surah after it?
Answer:
Yes, al-Fatihah is a pillar of the prayer; reciting it is a pillar of the prayer. The prayer is not valid except by reciting al-Fatihah. As for what is added to the recitation of al-Fatihah, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) of the prayer, whether it is reciting from the Qur'an or verses from it. It completes the prayer, but it is not obligatory. Yes.
