The reason for not reciting the Basmala in Surat al-Tawbah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In its final point, he asks: Why did we not recite the basmalah in Surat al-Tawbah?

Answer:
Because it was not revealed before it. The basmalah was revealed before the other surahs, but it was not revealed before Surat al-Tawbah, so it is not recited before it.
