The Prescribed Nature of the Opening Supplication in Every Unit of Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, is it sufficient for the one praying to recite the opening supplication only once, or is it obligatory for him to supplicate after every two units of prayer, for example in the night prayer?
Answer:
The opening supplication is recommended, not obligatory. It is recommended in every unit of prayer before reciting the Qur'an. One should say:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 243Hasan (Darussalam) or recite another type of opening supplication before reciting. This is the best course of action. If he omits it, he owes nothing in every unit of prayer.

Answer:
The opening supplication is recommended, not obligatory. It is recommended in every unit of prayer before reciting the Qur'an. One should say:
Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blessed is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but You.
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك، وتبارك اسمك، وتعالى جدك، ولا إله غيرك
