The ruling on the person praying alone saying: Ameen after al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q201: This questioner asks: Is it obligatory for the person praying alone to say Ameen after finishing the recitation of al-Fatihah?
A201: It is not obligatory to say Ameen, whether in congregation or alone; this is a recommended practice (sunnah); because its meaning is: O Allah, accept; and Ameen is not from the Qur'an, not from al-Fatihah nor from anything else, but rather it is a supplication, Ameen, meaning: O Allah, accept what he supplicated or what he recited from al-Fatihah; because al-Fatihah is a supplication from its beginning to its end, so he says Ameen after finishing it, saying: O Allah, accept this supplication that I recited.
