Doubt Regarding the Recitation of a Surah in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man asks, may Allah bless you: If he is in doubt whether he read the surah, does he read it a second time?
Answer:
al-Fatihah, yes, he reads it a second time; because it is a pillar, and his conscience is not cleared except by being certain that he read it, unless this is a case of obsessive doubt, in which case he rejects it. As for doubt about reading a surah other than al-Fatihah, that does not harm. Yes.
