What should one Recite in the last two Rakaats of Fardh Salaah
Question
I have a question regarding Salaah. For eg. In Esha Salaah there are four rakaat's, in which two are audible and two are silent. What should we do in the last two rakaats?
Answer
In the last two Rakaats, Surah Faatihah will be recited softly in the case where one is the Imaam or performing Salaah individually. However, if one is the muqtadi, one will remain silent.
