Question:
Among his questions, he says: O Shaykh, regarding the Sunnah of Fajr, or the two rak'ahs of Fajr, is it sufficient to recite only al-Fatihah, or al-Fatihah and another surah?
Answer:
Al-Fatihah is sufficient, but the Sunnah is to recite something other than al-Fatihah with it. One recites: [Al-Kafirun:1] in the first rak'ah, and [Al-Ikhlas:1] in the second rak'ah along with al-Fatihah, or one recites in the first rak'ah: [Al-Baqarah:136] from Surat al-Baqarah, and in the second rak'ah: [Al-Imran:64] from Surat al-Imran. Yes.
