I recently learnt that i have been praying fard wrongly. after the first two rakah I did not know that you do not read a surah after surah fatiha. does this invalidate all my fard salaat.

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Desai

i was very upset to learn that i have been praying fard incorrectly. i have been praying regularly for several years now and kazah salaat also after each prayer. please advice me if i should read kazah for all my fard salaats.thank you

Answer:

There is no Surah to be recited after Surah Faatiha in the third and fourth Rakaats of Fardh Salaat.

However, if one is recited a Surah, that does not invalidate the Salaat. Therefore, your previous Fardh Salaats are valid.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
