The ruling on supplication after al-Fatihah in the Fajr prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Ali Saleh from Jeddah says: Is there a specific supplication recited in the Fajr prayer in the last rak'ah after reciting al-Fatihah?

Answer:
There is nothing [specific]. Rather, after al-Fatihah, one recites whatever is easy from the Qur'an in all prayers. After al-Fatihah, one recites whatever is easy, in the Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr. The supplication is before; one begins with the opening supplication before reciting al-Fatihah. When one says the takbir of ihram, one begins with:
Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blessed is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but You.سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك، وتبارك اسمك وتعالى جدك، ولا إله غيرك
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 243Hasan (Darussalam)
or with the second opening supplication:
Allahumma ba'id baini was baina khatayaya kama ba'adta baina al-mashriq wal-maghrib; Allahumma naqqini min khatayaya kama yunaqqath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas; Allahummaghsilni min khatayaya bith-thalji wal-ma'i wal-barad (O Allah, out a great distance between me and my sins, as great as the distance You have made between the East and the West; O Allah, cleanse me of of sin as a white garment is cleansed from filth; Wash away my sins with snow, water, and hail)اللهم باعد بيني وبين خطاياي كما باعدت بين المشرق والمغرب، اللهم نقني من خطاياي كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس، اللهم اغسلني من خطاياي بالثلج والماء والبرد
Sunan an-Nasa'i 60Sahih (Darussalam)
And there are other opening supplications that came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
As for after al-Fatihah, no. After al-Fatihah, one recites whatever is easy. And if one pauses briefly after al-Fatihah so that the ma'mum can recite al-Fatihah, there is nothing wrong with that, if Allah wills. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you.
