Fatwa #71479 November 2002South Africa
Please explain the differences, in the actual reading (apart from the niyyah)between Sunnate Muaqida and Sunnate Ghair Muaqidah, Fard and Witr, etc.
Answer
In the Sunnat-e-Muakkadah, Sunnat Ghayr-e-Muakkadah and Witr, it is Waajib to recite both Surah Faatiha and a Surah in each Rakaat. In fardh Salaat, it is only Waajib to recite Surah Faatihah and Surah during the first two Rakaats. During the second two Rakaats, it is Sunnah to recite only Surah Faatiha.
In the third Rakaat of Witr, after the Surah Faatiha and Surah, it is Waajib to recite ?Allaahu Akbar? and then read Du?aa-e-Qunoot. In other respects, the four types of Salaat are the same.
