Saying Basmalah when starting Qur'an recitation from the middle of a Surah

Q 3: Should a person who recites from the middle of a Surah say Basmalah (saying, "Bismillah Al-Rahman, Al-Rahim [In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful]") or just say Isti`adhah (saying: "A`udhu-Billahi mina Al-Shaytan-ir-Rajim [I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan]")?


A: Anyone who recites the Qur'an beginning with the middle of a Surah should start with Isti`adhah and recite without Basmalah. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says: So when you want to recite the Qur’ân, seek refuge with Allâh from Shaitân (Satan), the outcast (the cursed one). As for a person who recites from the beginning of a Surah, he should say Isti`adhah and Basmalah, except in the beginning of Surah Al-Tawbah where Basmalah should not be said.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
