Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We have an imam of a mosque who recites from the end of Surat al-Kahf in the Fajr prayer on Friday, and he does this every Friday. Is this something that was done by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
It is not something that was done by the Prophet,

it is a recommended practice, but only outside of prayer. So please point this out to him. Yes.
