There are 5 ahkaam pertaining to the basmalah & hamd. You need to first know the nature of the book.

For shafi’s its wajib to read basmalah for salah for the fatihah
Sunnah for any action that holds importance like eating or even entering the toilet.
Makru for the action which is makru, like shaving the beard or mustache.
Mubaah for any action that holds no religious respect like starting your car, switching on your computer.
Haram when the action you about to do is haram. Drinking alcohol, or rolling the dice when gambling.

The hamd have the same rules.
