Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the recitation of the Basmalah in al-Fatihah in prayer, is it a pillar because it is considered one of the verses of al-Fatihah?
The Shaykh: Yes ...
The questioner : But what is reported from Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), as you have established in your book, may Allah bless you, "The Description of Prayer," is that he used to recite it quietly.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed...
The questioner : Is the Basmalah for separating the surahs also recited quietly, based on the hadith: "Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not know how to distinguish between the surahs until 'Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim' was revealed"? So is the Basmalah for separating the surahs, like reciting al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq, or al-Nas together after al-Fatihah, recited aloud, of course, or quietly? Should it be recited quietly or aloud?
The Shaykh : Quietly...
The questioner : The Basmala.
The Shaykh : Quietly...
The questioner : By the indication of the aforementioned hadith.
The Shaykh : Quietly...
The questioner : By the indication of the aforementioned hadith.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, quietly, yes...
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The Shaykh: Yes ...
