Restricting oneself to reciting al-Fatihah in voluntary prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am old in age and I do not memorize much of the Qur'an. What is the ruling on restricting oneself to reciting al-Fatihah in voluntary prayers?
Answer:
Answer: Reciting al-Fatihah in voluntary prayers and obligatory prayers is sufficient, as it is a pillar. Any additional recitation from the Qur'an is a recommended practice. If you memorize something other than al-Fatihah, do not restrict yourself to it, because you would be missing out on reward. However, if you are not able to recite anything but al-Fatihah, then restrict yourself to it. (Fear Allah as much as you are able).
