The questioner : The Shaykh (may Allah preserve you): These questions were gathered from some of the brothers. The Shaykh (may Allah preserve you): Regarding the repetition of some verses without starting from the beginning, for example, if a person reads "The Messenger has believed," does this necessitate repeating the seeking of refuge?
The Shaykh : Excuse me, I was... If Allah wills, please repeat the question for me?
The questioner : Repeating some verses without starting from the beginning, for example, like "The Messenger has believed." Does this necessitate the seeking of refuge? I mean, repeating the seeking of refuge. He read it the first time, he sought refuge the second time, the third time. Is it possible for him to continue without seeking refuge?
The Shaykh : If no speech intervenes in the recitation, there is no need to repeat the seeking of refuge; the first one is sufficient. However, if he reads the verse once or twice, then it occurs to him to speak, and then he returns to the recitation, he must renew the seeking of refuge.
The questioner : Is it said that this is the same if, for example, he repeats al-Ikhlas and wants to read it, for example, ten times, so he does not repeat the Basmala?
The Shaykh : As for the Basmala, that was a previous question regarding the seeking of refuge.
The questioner : Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : As for the Basmala, there is repetition, and the repetition is based on the stronger position that the Basmala is a verse of every surah. So if the one following wants to recite the surah in its entirety, there is no difference between reading the first verse or the last verse.
The questioner : So this is the same thing. It was a question for some of them about moving from one surah to another. The answer we took was, for example, al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat.
The Shaykh : It is obligatory to recite the Basmala.
The questioner : Yes, there is also this, my Shaykh. Does the imam seek refuge when he reads a surah after al-Fatihah, if it is not the beginning of a surah?
The Shaykh : No, the first seeking of refuge is sufficient.
The questioner : And the Basmala, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The answer regarding the Basmala has already been given.
The questioner : The answer regarding the Basmala was given previously.
The Shaykh : This...
