Is it valid to recite Ayat al-Kursi after every prayer, given that a previous fatwa weakened the hadith concerning it, while Sheikh al-Albani authenticated it?
It is permissible to recite "Ayat al-Kursi" after every prayer. Its has been authenticated by a number of scholars, such as Ibn Hibban, Al-Mundhiri, and Al-Haythami. Ibn Kathir stated that its chain of narration meets the conditions of Al-Bukhari. Furthermore, the multiplicity of the hadith's طرق (chains of narration) and their mutual reinforcement indicate that it has an origin, which is the view held by Ibn al-Qayyim and Al-Dimyati. The hadith has been authenticated or deemed good by early scholars, in addition to Sheikh Al-Albani among contemporary ones. It appears that their view is more preponderant than those who deemed it weak.
