Number Of Ayah After Fatiha In Namaz
Posted by Mohammad Ali Soomro on December 17, 2025 at 11:50 pmAssalam u alaikum,
My question is that is there any minimum number of ayah that is to be recited in namaz after fatiha? Can only 1 short ayah like first ayah of surah kausar, be enough?

Number Of Ayah After Fatiha In Namaz

Member December 18, 2025 at 2:51 am@Irfan76 yes sir I understand. Actually sometimes hanafi imam go to ruku quickly after fatiha and I am not yet completed with fatiha so then I quickly complete the remaining fatiha, add one ayah of surah kausar and quickly go to ruku before he rises from ruku

Member December 19, 2025 at 12:29 am@Irfan76 sir even when I join a new rakat, the imam is a little fast and hence because of hanafi, he only reads fatiha. And in this whole meantime, I have to complete fatiha plus qirat. So what should be done? Sometimes even with normal speed I complete fatiha and imam goes to ruku. Now before he rises up I should be completing qirat and also go to ruku. So I am only able to read one or two ayah of surah kausar

Member December 24, 2025 at 12:35 am@Irfan76 so sir even if I’m half way through fatiha and imam goes to ruku, I’m not required to finish fatiha and I’m supposed to go to ruku leaving fatiha halfway?
