Recitation after al-Fatihah in the last two rak'ahs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it a sunnah (recommended practice) to recite a surah after al-Fatihah in the two preceding rak'ahs of the 'Asr prayer?
Answer:
Two additional rak'ahs, as you heard, are restricted to al-Fatihah only. This is the opinion of the majority of scholars. Some scholars held that one should recite something from the Qur'an after al-Fatihah, but this is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
