Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

A: It is preferable.

( و ) كما تعوذ ( سمى ) غير المؤتم بلفظ البسلمة لا مطلق الذكر كما في ذبيحة ووضوء ( سرا في ) أول ( كل ركعة ) ولو جهرية

قال الشامي في رد المحتار : وذكر في المحيط المختار قول محمد وهو أن يسمي قبل الفاتحة وقبل كل سورة في كل ركعة (رد المحتار 1/490)
