Fatwa #44527 August 2000Pakistan

According to the Hanafi Math-hab, should I read Bismillah before the sura in all rakaats?

Question

Say, I am reading 4 rakaats. In the first rakah, after sura Fatiha should I read 'bismillah..' before the sura? When I get up in the second, third and fourth rakaats should I read 'bismillah..' before sura Fatiha? After sura Fatiha should I read 'bismillah..' before the sura?

Answer

It is Mustahabb (preferable) to recite Bismillah in the beginning of every
Rakaat and the beginning of reciting a Surah after Surah Faatiha.
