Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) reciting al-Fatihah without reciting another surah?
Answer:
The pillar is reciting al-Fatihah. Anything added to it is a recommended practice (sunnah). If one does it, it is more complete. If one limits oneself to al-Fatihah, that suffices. Yes.
