The Sufficiency of al-Fatihah in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Is al-Fatihah sufficient if a person prays an obligatory prayer and does not recite any verses after it?
Answer:
Yes, al-Fatihah is sufficient; because reciting it is a pillar of the prayer, which is obligatory for the one who is able to memorize it and can recite it. Whatever of the Qur'an is recited with it is a recommended practice (sunnah). If he recites after it, that is better, and his prayer is more complete. If he does not recite anything after al-Fatihah, his prayer is valid. Yes.
