Question:
Regarding the recitation of Surat al-Fatihah in the Fajr prayer, one may suffice with Surat al-Fatihah and not recite another surah after it.
Answer:
Surat al-Fatihah is an obligatory pillar of the prayer, and it is essential. As for reciting something from the Qur'an after al-Fatihah, that is a recommended practice (sunnah), but one should not leave it off as long as he is able to do so, following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
