Question
Assalamu-Alaikum,I am looking for a reference to performing Al Fatiha 100 times asking Allah (swt) for a big blessing. Does anyone know of a Hadith mentioning this? Assalamu-Alaikum
Answer
Praise be to Allah.There is no saheeh evidence (daleel) to indicate that we should recite
al-Faatihah one hundred times when asking Allaah for anything, so it is not permissible to
do this. You must follow the Sunnah and call on Allaah by His names and attributes, as he
says (interpretation of the meaning): “And (all) the Most beautiful Names belong
to Allaah, so call on Him by them…” [al-A’raaf 7:180]. As regards
Soorat al-Faatihah, it is the greatest soorah of the Qur’aan, so recite it whenever
you wish, without specifying a certain number of times or a certain way of reciting it
that has no basis in Islam. May Allaah help us and you to do all good.
