Repeating al-Fatihah in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to repeat al-Fatihah in the loud prayer and the silent prayer, such as saying, for example, "All praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds," and repeating this verse repeatedly?

Answer:
No, reciting al-Fatihah is a pillar of the prayer, and a pillar is not repeated. Yes.
