Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Do you not see, may Allah preserve you, the importance of teaching people whatever they can manage of Surat al-Fatihah and the surahs of al-Mufassal? We have heard this in your program on the rulings of the Noble Qur'an on the Qur'an radio. Will you continue it and increase the program's duration by half an hour, covering al-Fatihah and al-Mufassal?
The Shaykh:
I did not understand the beginning of the question; the end is something else. Can you repeat the question?
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He says: Shaykh, do you not see, may Allah preserve you, the importance of teaching people whatever is easy of Surat al-Fatihah
The Shaykh:
Do you mean from its interpretation or from its wording? Teaching them its wording is obligatory, and the prayer is not valid without it. As for teaching them the interpretation of al-Fatihah, that is a good thing, but it is not obligatory.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. We have heard this in your program on the rulings of the Noble Qur'an on the Qur'an Radio. Will you continue it and increase the duration of the program by half an hour?
The Shaykh:
Ask the Qur'an Radio for this. Ask them to repeat the program, and also ask them to increase the time. This is with the Ministry of Information. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
