The Ruling on Reciting the Basmalah Before Each Surah in Prayer

He also asks and says: I begin my prayer by reciting the Basmalah before al-Fatihah and before the surah that follows it in every rak'ah. Is there any harm in doing so?
Answer: This is what is prescribed. It is prescribed for the believer to recite the Basmalah at the beginning of every surah, in al-Fatihah and others. He should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan at the very beginning of his recitation, then recite the Basmalah, and then recite al-Fatihah. Likewise, in the other surahs, he should recite the Basmalah. If he repeats seeking refuge, there is no harm. If he omits it, seeking refuge at the beginning of his prayer is sufficient for him. As for the Basmalah, it is recommended to repeat it with every surah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite it at the beginning of every surah (peace and blessings be upon him). However, he would recite it quietly in the prayers where the recitation is audible. If the imam recites it quietly, it is better for the one behind him to recite it quietly, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite it quietly (peace and blessings be upon him). If he recites it aloud at times to let the people know that he is reciting it for the benefit of the people, there is no harm, just as some of the Companions recited it aloud. Yes.
