Does one recite the basmala before reciting a sura (or three short aayaat) after the Fatiha in

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Does one recite the basmala before reciting a sura (or three short aayaat) after the Fatiha in prayer?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate.

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

It is not a specific sunna in prayer to recite the basmala (saying bismillah…) before the recitation of a sura after having recited the Fatiha.

However, it is good (hasan) to do so when starting to recite a sura from the beginning. [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]

Wassalam,

Faraz Rabbani
