Is it permissible to pray by reciting only al-Fatihah?
Answer: Yes; if one recites only al-Fatihah, his prayer is valid. All five prayers are valid if one recites only al-Fatihah, because it is a pillar of the prayer, and what is added to it is recommended, not obligatory. However, the Sunnah is to add to it in the first and second rak'ahs of the midday, afternoon, sunset, and night prayers, and the Sunnah is to add to it in the dawn prayer as well; this is the Sunnah. This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to add to it. But he said: This indicates that it is a pillar and the rest is recommended. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. How do you direct the one who does not recite al-Fatihah in his prayer, Your Eminence, if you permit?
The Shaykh: As for if he is an imam or praying alone, his prayer is not valid; he must repeat it, because al-Fatihah is a pillar of the prayer.
The presenter: And nothing compensates for it?
Answer: Absolutely not; it must be repeated. As for if he is a ma'mum (one praying behind the imam), the scholars differed on whether al-Fatihah is obligatory for the ma'mum or not. The majority are of the opinion that it is not obligatory for him and that the imam takes his place in that. The correct view is that it is obligatory for him; the correct view is that al-Fatihah is obligatory for him. He should recite it, even with the imam. He recites it with the imam, then he listens if it is a prayer where the recitation is loud, due to the generality of the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): , and because he (peace and blessings be upon him): This is a text regarding the ma'mums, a text that is authentic, so it is obligatory to act upon it. But if he missed the standing because he was late and did not arrive until the bowing, it suffices for him; because when Abu Bakrah entered and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was bowing, he bowed outside the row and then entered the row, and the Prophet did not order him to make up the rak'ah because he was excused for missing the standing. Similarly, the one who was with the imam but forgot to recite al-Fatihah, or who believes the opinion of the majority that it is not obligatory for him, his prayer is valid. Or the one who is ignorant of the legal ruling and did not recite, thinking that he is not required to recite with the imam; his prayer is valid, like the one who arrived while the imam was bowing, by the common factor of the excuse, the common factor of the excuse. Yes.
