Ruling on Reciting More Than al-Fatihah in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from al-Bada'i in Qasim says, "Your Eminence, I memorize the short surahs. I say: I memorize some of the Noble Qur'an, such as the beginning of Surat al-Baqarah, the Verse of the Throne, the end of Surat al-Baqarah, the beginning of Surat al-Saffat, the end of Surat al-Hashr, and the beginning of Surat al-Jinn."
The question is: Is it permissible for me to recite such verses in prayer, given that my memorization is limited to the short surahs?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. Allah says: [Surah al-Muzzammil: 20]. You should recite whatever verses or surahs you have memorized in your tahajjud, in your obligatory prayers, and in your voluntary prayers. The obligatory part is al-Fatihah, and whatever is added to this is recommended. The pillar is reciting al-Fatihah, while any additional verses or surahs are all recommended. Recite whatever is easy for you from the Qur'an that you have with you, whether verses or surahs.
