Question:
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.
Hanafi Fiqh > Askimam.org
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.

Please can you advise why it is that only in FARD salaat the third/fourth rakaat you dont recite any surah from the quran?

2) I was recently informed by a friend that you only recite Surah Iklyas(or any surah from the koran) in the first two rakaat of a FARD salaat and for the third/fourth rakaat surah fathiah is all you need to recite. I have always recited Surah Iklyas in my FARD salaat in the third/fourth rakaat as I was not aware of this. Please can you advise if my salaat will have been accepted? 3) I want to make up for the prayers I never used to pray, please can you advise if I only need to pray the fard for each salaat I ever missed. e.g Dhur salaat is 4 sunnat, 4 fard, 2 sunnat, 2 nafl, however do I only need to pray 4 fard of Dhur salaat when doing Qadhaa. I assume for Isha I need to also pray 3 Witr as well as 4 fard.
Answer:
1. In the third and four Rakaat of Fardh Salaat, only Surah Faatiha should be read. However, if another Surah was read with Surah Faatiha, the Salaat will be complete. There is no need to repeat the Salaat. (Hidaaya vol.1 pg.148; Ilmiyah)
2. There is no Qadhaa for Sunnah and Nafl (optional) Salaats. Qadhaa will be made only for Fardh and Witr Salaats. (Ibid pg.155)

You recite surah fatihah in all rakats of Fard prayers, in the first two with another surah, in the first with the intro prayer and in the last two alone.
1st rakat: Surah Fatiha + Recite any Surah
2nd rakat: Surah Fatiha + Recite any Surah
3rd rakat: Surah Fatiha
4th rakat: Surah Fatiha
Technically reciting the extra surahs during the 1st and 2nd rakat aren't required but they are sunnah. Surah Fatiha on the other hand is a requirement for every rakat.
What I am curious about is if you still recite Surah Fatiha behind the Imam. I've heard different views on it.
It also indicates that reciting a soorah after al-Faatihah is mustahabb. There is scholarly consensus on this point with regard to Fajr, Jumu’ah and the first two rak’ahs of every prayer, and this is Sunnah according to all scholars. Al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad (may Allaah have mercy on him) narrated that some of the companions of Maalik said that reciting a second soorah is obligatory, but this is an odd view which is to be rejected.
With regard to reciting an additional soorah in the third and fourth rak’ahs, there was a difference of opinion among the scholars as to whether it is mustahabb or not. Maalik (may Allaah have mercy on him) regarded it as makrooh. Al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah be pleased with him) regarded it as mustahabb in his new opinion but not in his old opinion; the old opinion in this case is more correct.
Sharh Muslim, 4/105, 106.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
According to the majority of scholars, reciting another soorah (after al-Faatihah) is Sunnah and is not obligatory, because it is obligatory to recite only al-Faatihah.
1st and 2nd rakat it is recommended to pray another surah after fatiha.
3rd and 4th rakat there is a difference of opinion but what is sure is that it is neither obligatory nor forbidden to recite another surah after fatiha.
These questions are better asked to your local imam, but I wanted to at least give you one site with some sources.
Allahu alam
Reciting a soorah after al-Faatihah is not obligatory.
When joining a congregational prayer in the 3rd or 4th rakah, do we have to make up for the recitation of surah's other than the fatiha that the imaam read in his 1st and 2nd rakah, but we missed?

Praise be to Allaah.
1 – Reciting Qur’aan after al-Faatihah in prayer is not obligatory, either in a fard (obligatory) prayer or a naafil (supererogatory) prayer, whether the prayer is one in which Qur’aan is recited out loud or one in which it is recited silently, whether one is joining the prayer late or otherwise.
It was narrated that ‘Ata’ said: Abu Hurayrah said: In every prayer there is recitation. What we heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, we tell you, and what he did not tell us about we cannot tell you. Whoever recites Umm al-Kitaab (i.e., Soorat al-Faatihah) has done enough, and whoever does more than that, that is better.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 738; Muslim, 396.
Al-Nawawi said:
The phrase, “Whoever recites Umm al-Kitaab (i.e., Soorat al-Faatihah) has done enough, and whoever does more than that, that is better” indicates that reciting al-Faatihah is obligatory, and that nothing else will do.
It also indicates that reciting a soorah after al-Faatihah is mustahabb. There is scholarly consensus on this point with regard to Fajr, Jumu’ah and the first two rak’ahs of every prayer, and this is Sunnah according to all scholars.

Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 3/103
If you stand up to complete your prayer after the imam has said the tasleem, then the correct scholarly view is that the rak’ahs in which you caught up with the imam form the first part of your prayer. See question no. 23426. If what remains of your prayer is the third and fourth rak’ahs, then you should recite al-Faatihah only; if what remains is the second and subsequent rak’ahs, then in the second you should recite al-Faatihah plus another soorah, and in the remaining rak’ahs you should recite al-Faatihah only.
It is permissible for a worshipper to recite another soorah after al-Faatihah in the third and fourth rak’ahs, but he should do that only sometimes; it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did this according to a hadeeth narrated by Muslim (452).
And Allaah knows best.

Reciting another surah after surah Al-Fatiha in the third & fourth rak’ah of an obligatory
Shafi'i Fiqh > Qibla.com
Answered by Shaykh Saad Peters al-Attas
While praying alone, can we recite a surah after surah Al-Fatiha in the third & fourth raka of an obligatory prayer? Is it our choice? OR is it a sin if we do so. What if one reads a short surah by mistake.
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
In the Name of Allah The Beneficent Most Merciful.
And may His peace and blessings be upon His beloved messenger, family and companions.
If one is praying a fard prayer alone it is not recommended in our mathhab to read a surah after fatihah in the third and fourth raka’ah, because of the hadeeth in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, Nasai and Ibn Majah, which states that the prophet (Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) use to read the fatihah followed by a surah in the first two rak’as of thuhr and ‘asr, and in the second two the fatihah only. Maghrib and ‘Isha is included in this hadeeth because it has more then two rak’ats like thuhr and ‘asr.
It is not left to our choice whether suras are placed in the beginning or the end or middle, but rather the choice of the shari’ah.
If one should read a surah in the third or the fourth rak’ah intentionally it would be considered an act of offence (makruh) and if done unintentionally such as reading a surah by mistake one has not committed any act of offence. In both cases ones prayer would not be invalid.
If one is praying a sunnah prayer one is allowed to recite a surah after the fatihah in each rak’ah if one does not separate the prayer with a tashahud after each two rak’as, but rather with one at the end, such as witr. If one does the tashahud after every second rak’ah one is not allowed to do so then, based on the fard prayer.
And Allah alone knows best.
