Ruling on saying: (Ameen) after al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Also, Fawwad Muhammad Ahmad Ali has another question. He asks: Inform us about the word Ameen in Surat al-Fatihah, which comes after: [al-Fatihah:7]. Is it a verse, a Sunnah, or recommended?
Answer: O questioner! Saying (Ameen) after al-Fatihah is not one of the verses of the Qur'an, nor is it one of the verses of al-Fatihah. Rather, it is a supplication meaning: "Grant our request, O our Lord." So (Ameen) means: "O Allah, grant our request." It is a Sunnah, not obligatory. It is a Sunnah after al-Fatihah, said by the one reciting in prayer and otherwise. One says: (Ameen) when reciting al-Fatihah. The imam says it... the follower says it... the one praying alone says it in prayer and outside of it. Ameen. This is the Sunnah. It is not obligatory, but it is recommended. It is a supplication, not a verse of al-Fatihah or any other, but rather a supplication. Yes.
And not the astray
