Explaining the meaning of the hadith: “There is no prayer for one who does not recite al-Fatihah”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q373: The questioner says: I hope you will clarify the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Jami` at-Tirmidhi 247Sahih (Darussalam) ?
A373: This applies to the one praying alone. As for the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam), he must listen to his imam's recitation if the imam recites aloud; because Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:204]. So the ma'mum recites al-Fatihah during the imam's pauses. However, if the imam recites aloud, it is obligatory for the ma'mum to listen and pay attention to the Qur'an; because the imam's recitation is the recitation for everyone. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
There is no Salat for the one who does not recite Fatihatil-Kitab.
لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بفاتحة الكتابA373: This applies to the one praying alone. As for the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam), he must listen to his imam's recitation if the imam recites aloud; because Allah the Exalted said:
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنْصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
