Reciting verses from different Soorahs in same Rak'ah
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh.

Al-Feel, Quraysh, Adh-Dhuha and Ash-Sharh are four separate soorahs
Assalaamu alaikum. I recently read somewhere that Surah Al-Feel and Surah Quraish must be combined in the prayer, that they cannot be read separately as different surahs, and that this is the same for Surah Adh-Dhuha and SurahAsh-Sharh. Is this correct according to the Hanafi mathhab (school of thought)?

Doubting the recitation of Al-Faatihah in prayer
What is the Sharee‘ah ruling when one is doubtful whether or not he recited Al-Faatihah in prayer? I feel that I indeed recited it but am doubtful. It is not a case of following devilish whispers as I do not have this problem and all praise is due to Allaah. Would you please answer in detail for me and others who may have this problem as soon as possible?.. More
