He used to read one verse after Al-Fatiha

Question
A person is accustomed to reading only one verse after Al-Fatiha, is his prayer valid?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is required to read three verses or a long verse equivalent to the length of Surah Al-Kawthar. Whoever does not do so is sinful for neglecting a duty of prayer, which is to add a Surah to Al-Fatiha. And God knows best.
