One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
Dear
sir
Is it wrong to recite Sura Lahab in our prayers when we are praying along. I
was informed not to recite this sura every time when we pray. Please confirm.
(There may be some grammatical and spelling
errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from

Answer:
Recite surah lahab
on prayer
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
The 111th Surah Al-Lahab is an integral part of
the Glorious Quran, and one is at absolute liberty to recite any Surah or
Verses of the Gloirous Quran in their prayers as one wills or pleases. We absolutely assure you in the Blessed Name
of the Lord Most Majestic that there is absolutely no restriction upon the
believers in reciting any Surah or any Verses of the Glorious Quran in their
prayers, including the 111th Surah al-Lahab.
The person who ‘informed’ you that it is prohibited to
recite the Surah Al-Lahab of the Glorious Quran in one’s prayers should be asked
to provide the proof for his restriction from the Quran or the authentic and
established Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws)…..and if he/she is unable
to provide the evidence, and we absolutely assure you that there is none….then
you should know with absolute conviction that the restriction is something
which is self-invented and concocted by the ‘informer’ himself, and has
absolutely nothing to do with the Guidance of Islam!
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
