Ruling on one who prays and skips the verses he forgets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Her other question is: I memorize—praise be to Allah—five or six parts of the Noble Qur'an, but I forget some words and phrases in some surahs. Is it permissible for me to read in my prayer what I know and leave what I do not know?
Please give me a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.
I should mention that I skip what I do not know and read what comes after it.
Answer:
There is no harm, there is nothing wrong—Allah willing—you read what you have memorized and there is nothing wrong with that. After al-Fatihah, the important thing is that al-Fatihah is a pillar, and the rest is a voluntary recommended practice. You read whatever is easy for you of the verses you have, and if you forget some other verses, you skip them and leave them because you do not have them memorized, and there is nothing wrong with that. But the important thing is that al-Fatihah is necessary; al-Fatihah is a pillar in the prayer. What is added to it is a recommended practice, whether a verse or a surah. So the matter is broad in this regard. Yes.
