Restricting the prayer to al-Fatihah without reciting a surah after it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is reciting Surat al-Fatihah sufficient in the prayer without reciting a surah after it?
Answer:
Yes. Is it a pillar to recite whatever is easy after al-Fatihah in the first two rak'ahs? This is a recommended practice (sunnah). If one restricts oneself to al-Fatihah, the prayer is valid, and if one recites whatever is easy from the Qur'an after it, that is better.

May Allah reward you with good,
