The questioner : Shaykh, what is your opinion regarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): that when they were disputing with him regarding the recitation, he said at the end of the hadith: Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:76?
The Shaykh : You will find the answer in *Sifat al-Salah* (The Description of Prayer).
But I will say briefly, to reassure the questioner and anyone who may have an effect of this question in their heart:
Many people think this hadith indicates the obligation of reciting al-Fatihah for the follower. Here is a matter of precision related to the science of usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence):
Sunan Abi Dawud 823Da'if (Al-Albani): meaning: do not recite anything from the Qur'an. This is a prohibition. Then the exception came: This exception indicates the permissibility of reciting al-Fatihah, not the obligation of reciting al-Fatihah, because the exception from a prohibition indicates permissibility and does not indicate obligation. It is forbidden for the one in ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah to hunt, so when Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:2] This command does not indicate obligation, but rather it lifts the previous prohibition, which is the prohibition of hunting for the one in ihram.
Similarly, His saying (the Exalted):[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9-10] to the end of the verse. So His saying: [Al-Jumu'ah 62:10] does not mean that it is obligatory for you to disperse, but rather it means it is permissible for you to disperse after you were forbidden from dispersing by His saying: [Al-Jumu'ah 62:9]. So this exception does not mean the obligation of al-Fatihah, because this exception is from a prohibition. An exception from a prohibition does not mean obligation, but rather it means permissibility.
And what confirms this precise meaning is the wording of the hadith in *Musnad al-Imam Ahmad*: Look, the expression differs: Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:296, the second narration: meaning it is not upon you to recite, so it does not indicate obligation. So if a hadith or hadiths indicate the non-obligation of reciting al-Fatihah behind the imam in the loud prayers, there is no contradiction between what these hadiths indicated and the hadith mentioned byThe questioner :Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:296 especially from the narration of Imam Ahmad: Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:355.
Do you have something?
The questioner : In the hadith, O Shaykh:, is it authentic?
The Shaykh : The hadith:.
Do not do so except with the Mother of the Book
لا تفعلوا إلا بأم الكتابThe Shaykh : You will find the answer in *Sifat al-Salah* (The Description of Prayer).
But I will say briefly, to reassure the questioner and anyone who may have an effect of this question in their heart:
Many people think this hadith indicates the obligation of reciting al-Fatihah for the follower. Here is a matter of precision related to the science of usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence):
Do not do so except when it is Fatihat al-Kitab
لا تفعلوا إلا بفاتحة الكتابDo not do
لا تفعلواExcept with al-Fatihah.
إلا بفاتحة الكتابBut when you come out of ihram, then [you may] hunt.
وإذا حللتم فاصطادواSimilarly, His saying (the Exalted):
when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. (10) And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land
إذا نودي للصلاة من يوم الجمعة فاسعوا إلى ذكر الله وذروا البيع ذلكم خير لكم إن كنتم تعلمون * فإذا قُضيت الصلاة فانتشروا في الأرضdisperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah
فانتشروا في الأرض وابتغوا مِن فضل اللهthen proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade
فاسعوا إلى ذكر الله وذروا البيعAnd what confirms this precise meaning is the wording of the hadith in *Musnad al-Imam Ahmad*:
So do not do so except that one of you recites with the Opening of the Book
فلا تفعلوا إلَّا أَن يقرأ أحدكم بفاتحة الكتابDo not do anything except with the opening of the Book
فلا تفعلوا إلا بفاتحة الكتابExcept that you do
إلا أن تفعلواDo not do anything except with the opening of the Book
فلا تفعلوا إلا بفاتحة الكتابexcept that one of you recites the opening of the Book
إلا أن يقرأ أحدكم بفاتحة الكتابDo you have something?
The questioner : In the hadith, O Shaykh:
None of you should be an im'ah
لا يكن أحدكم إمعةThe Shaykh : The hadith:
