When is the basmalah and the seeking of refuge recited in the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a message received from a listener of the program, who says: Your Eminence, is the seeking of refuge and the basmalah recited when reading al-Fatihah, and also when reading the surah that follows al-Fatihah, and is this done in all rak'ahs? And if a person does not read the surah after al-Fatihah from its beginning, should he also begin with the seeking of refuge and the basmalah?

Answer:
The seeking of refuge is sufficient at the beginning of the recitation of the rak'ah; his seeking of refuge at al-Fatihah is sufficient. And if he reads a surah after al-Fatihah, he only says the basmalah: Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim
By the Timeوَالْعَصْرِ
[al-Asr: 1] Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim
Have you been distractedأَلْهَاكُمُ
[al-Takathur: 1]. The basmalah is sufficient in the surah after al-Fatihah, whereas the seeking of refuge is done at its beginning, before al-Fatihah. Yes.
