Question:
Some imams in the night prayer recite in the two rak'ahs of the witr from the verses they reached in the prayer, and do not recite Al-A'la and Al-Kafirun on the grounds that they want to complete the recitation of the Qur'an. Is this permissible?
Answer:
It is permissible, there is no harm. Allah the Exalted said: "So recite whatever is easy of it" or "whatever is easy of the Qur'an." It is permissible, but it is better to follow the Sunnah. This is what is better: following the Sunnah. That is to recite in the first of the witr "Subbuhisma Rabbika al-A'la" (Glorified is the name of your Lord, the Most High), and in the second "Qul ya ayyuha al-Kafirun" (Say, O disbelievers), and in the third Surah al-Ikhlas. This is what is better and more excellent. Completing the recitation of the Qur'an is done in the tarawih. The recitation in the tarawih is done by reading one juz (part), reading one juz in each rak'ah, reading one page in the two rak'ahs, reading one page in the two rak'ahs, and in five taslims (concluding salams) he reads half a juz. So if he prays ten rak'ahs, he reads ten pages, a complete juz. And by this method, if he follows it from the beginning of the month, it is possible for him to complete the recitation of the Qur'an at the end of the month.
