Reciting Surah Faatiha and a Surah in the last two rakaats of fardh Salaah
Question
In Beheshti Zewar it is mentioned that in a fardh Salaah, in the last two rakaats if a person reads surah Fatiha and a Surah thereafter, sajdah sahw will not be wajib. Please can mufti saheb explain the reason for this, because it seems contrary to the usool that it is delaying the ruku.
Answer
The reasons have been explained by Fuqaha. To view the details of this maslah, you may refer to Shaami vol. 2 pg. 459 and Aalamghiri vol. 1 pg. 126.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
