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.
