Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person knows something of the Qur'an other than al-Fatihah, should he recite the dhikr or read something from the Qur'an?
Answer:
Both are permissible, based on his saying:Sahih Muslim 397a He said to the one who messed up his prayer: Sahih Muslim 397a So both are permissible: he reads whatever he can of the Qur'an, or he recites the dhikr that was reported. That suffices him, if Allah wills. Yes.
