The reason for not writing the basmalah at the beginning of Surat al-Tawbah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks and says: In Surat al-Tawbah, it was not written: In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. And I say: I seek refuge in Allah from the Fire, from the evil of the disbelievers, and from the anger of the Mighty One; might belongs to Allah, His Messenger, and the believers. Is this correct?
Answer:
We do not know a basis for this, but one seeks refuge in Allah from Satan. When starting with it, one says: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan from his whispering, his blowing, and his spitting, then one recites. When the Companions wrote the mushaf, they did not write (In the name of Allah) before it. Uthmayn (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that he was uncertain whether it was independent or with al-Anfal; therefore, they did not write In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate before it.
So the Sunnah for reciters, when they start with it, is to start with the seeking of refuge.
As for the wording mentioned by the questioner, we do not know a basis for it. Rather, one says: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, and that is sufficient. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
