The Ruling on Repeating Verses in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Maryam, also asks: Honorable Shaykh, what is your view of the one who repeats a verse more than once until he becomes humble and the one behind him becomes humble?
Answer:
This is permissible in voluntary prayer and in standing in night prayer, that he repeats the verse, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Ma'idah 5:118] So if he is praying at night and repeats a verse that contains a lesson and a warning, and he reflects upon it, there is nothing wrong with it. As for the obligatory prayer, the verses are not repeated. Yes.
The questioner, Maryam, also asks: Honorable Shaykh, what is your view of the one who repeats a verse more than once until he becomes humble and the one behind him becomes humble?
Answer:
This is permissible in voluntary prayer and in standing in night prayer, that he repeats the verse, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated the saying of Allah the Exalted:
If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
إِن تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِن تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
