Written Fatwa
What is the ruling on forgetting the basmalah while reciting the Qur'an?
I cannot remember whether I recited the basmalah or not while reading the Qur'an. I'm constantly delusional, how can I find a way out of this situation? And if I really forgot to recite a basmalah, what is the ruling?
Reciting basmalah to read the Qur'an is one of the good manners of reading the Qur'an, but it is not necessary to be able to read the Qur'an. Such an obsession will not prevent you from reading the Qur'an and earning rewards. Even if you forget, keep reading, don't be concerned with this obsession.
