Q 7: Is it permissible for a person who performs Salah (Prayer) to recite Bismillah-ir-Rahman ir-Rahim (In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) after reciting Surah Al-Fatihah, then follow this by another Surah (Qur'anic chapter) during Salah (Prayer)? Should it be recited out loud or secretly?


A: If the person praying is going to recite another Surah after Al-Fatihah, they should first silently recite Basmalah (Bismillah-ir-Rahman ir-Rahim (In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful). However, if they are to recite a part of the middle or the last part of a Surah, they may not recite Basmalah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
