The ruling on reciting al-Fatihah seeking blessing at the start of work, and reciting it for the deceased
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is customary among us that when one of us enters work, he recites al-Fatihah aloud, and when we reconcile a group, we recite al-Fatihah for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and when we attend a funeral for a deceased person, we say: al-Fatihah for the deceased. Is this permissible, or is it a religious innovation? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no evidence for this; rather, it is a religious innovation, so it is obligatory to leave it. May Allah improve the condition of everyone. Yes.
The presenter : O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
