Explaining the virtue of reciting Surat al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q190: The questioner asks: What is the virtue of reciting Surat al-Fatihah?
A190: It is not reported that Surat al-Fatihah is recited except in the prayer; because it is a pillar
of the pillars of the prayer. It is also recited for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), and for one bitten by a snake, a scorpion, or other illness, so it is recited for the sake of ruqyah. As for reciting it at parties, or at the conclusion of reciting the Qur'an, or at the end of a gathering, all of this has no basis.
