Reciting a Surah in the third and fourth rakaat after Surah faatiha in the four rakaats sunnat of zuhr
Question
I just wanna ask about the sunnat-e-muakadah before fardh of zuhr. I should perform it with salaam at the end and now my question is on the third rakaat am I only going to recite fatiha and also in the forth rakaat just like praying fardh or I should recite another surah in the third rakaat and another surah in the last rakaat after faatiha?
Answer
Surah Faatiha and a Surah will be recited in the third and fourth rakaat.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
