Repeating al-Faatihah during prayer

Question: 632

Assalamu Alaikum

What is the hukm(rule) for repeating Surat al-Fatiha if you do not think you had
enough Khushu(Peace and fear of Allah) in your first recitation.

Jazak Allahu Khiran

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

We do not advise you to do this, in case it opens the way for Shaytaan’s whispers. Try to concentrate (khushoo’) during prayer. One of the best ways to focus during prayer is to remember death.
