The ruling on reciting after al-Fatihah in the final rak'ahs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Muhammad Abdul-Rahman Uthman sent a message containing two questions. In his first question, he says: If I recite a surah after al-Fatihah in the last two rak'ahs of a four-rak'ah prayer, or in the last rak'ah of Maghrib; do I have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness? And what do I say in it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You do not have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness, but leaving it out is better; leaving the recitation is better. And if one recites, there is no blame on him. It is established from the hadith of Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that indicates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited in the third and fourth rak'ahs in addition to al-Fatihah. And it is established from al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) that he recited in the third rak'ah of Maghrib after al-Fatihah: [Al Imran:8].
So the matter is broad in this, but leaving the recitation is better, except in the Zuhr prayer; there is nothing wrong with reciting in the third and fourth rak'ahs, a little in addition to al-Fatihah at times, due to the hadith of Abu Sa'id. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

[Who say], "Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.
رَبَّنَا لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُSo the matter is broad in this, but leaving the recitation is better, except in the Zuhr prayer; there is nothing wrong with reciting in the third and fourth rak'ahs, a little in addition to al-Fatihah at times, due to the hadith of Abu Sa'id.
