Question:
From Sudan, the listener (M. M.) sent a message containing two questions. In his first question, he asks: Do I recite the Basmala in the surah that follows al-Fatihah in the secret prayer? Or is it not obligatory?
Answer:
The Sunnah is to recite the Basmala in al-Fatihah and in all the surahs, in both the secret and the loud prayers, but in the loud prayers it is better to recite it quietly. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
