Sufficing on Surah Fatiha and the 3 Quls in Salaah

· 23 Muharram 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Q.The person that did not Memorize or did not even study the holy Quraan but knows Surah Fatiha and 3 Quls and recites that in their Salah. Is there any punishment for that person on the day of Judgment for not studying the Quraan?

Answer

A person should recite whatever portion of the Quraan they know in Salaah. At the same time, an effort should be made in learning and memorizing more of the Quraan. However there is no punishment for not memorizing more Surahs or the entire Quraan.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
