Reciting al-Fatihah after every bowing in the eclipse prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We ask Allah to repeat the recitation of al-Fatihah after every bowing. Is there evidence for this? As he bows and rises and recites al-Fatihah, and does not recite?
The Shaykh:
We have not been informed of the matter, but this is what the practice is based on; because every recitation is like an independent rak'ah, every recitation is like an independent rak'ah, and al-Fatihah is repeated in the rak'ahs. This is the view of those who said the practice. Yes. This is the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas, meaning that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lengthened it, but people may not be able to bear this. The imam should be lenient, he recites what is easy, so recite what is easy, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever leads the people should shorten the prayer.
