Is it permissible to intentionally pray a supererogatory prayer (nafilah) with only Al-Fatihah, and does it require a prostration of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw)?
It is sufficient to recite only Surat Al-Fatihah in a supererogatory prayer; there is no obligation to recite another surah after it. Nor does intentionally omitting it necessitate a prostration of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw).
