Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the opening of the Book sufficient in tahajjud and the sunnah prayers, or is it necessary to recite other verses and surahs with it?
Answer:
Al-Fatihah is sufficient; because it is a pillar, but if one recites with it, that is better. The sunnah is to recite an addition with it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite with al-Fatihah, but he said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 247Sahih (Darussalam) So the pillar is al-Fatihah, and what is added is recommended. Yes.
