Wajjahtu Wajhi lil-lazi Fataras-SamawДЃti wal-Ardh According to the popular view in Mazhab As-Syafiee, the person does not need to retract and recite the missed Dua Iftitah but it suffices for him/her to continue with the prayer. In this scenario, the person does not recite the Dua Iftitah after the Takbir, instead, he/she proceeds to recite the TaвЂ™awwuz or Surah Al-Fatihah immediately. I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaytan The other case would be if a person starts the prayer and immediately recites the TaвЂ™awwuz (seeking refuge in Allah s.w.t) Therefore, the Dua Iftitah in this case is no longer an encouraged act of worship. Similarly, if a person enters the congregational prayer while the Imam is still standing, but fears leaving the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah before the Imam proceeds to the RukuвЂ™ position, then the person should instead focus on reciting Surah Al-Fatihah. However, if a person ( maвЂ™mum) enters a congregational prayer after the Imam has already proceeded to the RukuвЂ™ position or beyond, the Dua Iftitah is no longer sought to be recited. The only exception is in the Jenazah prayer, where the Dua Iftitah is not sought to be read.Дua Iftitiah is recited after the Takbiratul-Ihram during the first rakaat. When do we read Dua Iftitah?Дua Iftitah can be recited in any prayers, obligatory (f ardhu) or non-obligatory ( sunnah), and whether we are praying individually or in congregation. Which means that if a person were to miss this supplication, it does not nullify the prayer nor does he/she need to compensate it by performing the Sujud sahwi before ending the prayer. Sunnah HayвЂ™ah: If missed, it is not sought from the person to perform the Sujud sahwi.Дua Iftitah is an encouraged act that falls under the category of Sunnah HayвЂ™ah.Such as the Dua Qunut in the Subuh prayer. Sunnah AbвЂ™adh: if missed, it is encouraged to perform the Sujud sahwi before ending the prayer.

As per the rulings in Mazhab As-Syafee, the acts of Sunnah during the prayers itself can be categorised into two: What happens if we do not recite Dua Iftitah in our prayers?Дua Iftitah is a blessed Sunnah (encouraged) that is encouraged to be recited during a prayer. This prayer is referred to as Dua Iftitah (the opening supplication). Upon giving the Takbir, there is a supplication which we make before reciting the obligatory Surah Al-Fatihah. Every prayer starts with a Takbiratul-Ihram, after which we leave all of our worldly matters and give our undivided attention to the prayer.
