Is it prescribed to recite Surat al-Masad in the loud prayers from time to time to clarify that mere affiliation does not benefit?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on reciting Surat al-Masad in the loud prayers from time to time to take a lesson and to clarify that mere affiliation does not save one from the Fire?

Answer:
Yes, but do not assign it a specific order; recite it sometimes without a fixed order, just as you recite the other surahs. Yes, it contains the fact that kinship, mere kinship to the Messenger, does not benefit without faith. This is the uncle of the Messenger, his father’s brother, in whom Allah revealed this Qur’an, even though he was a relative of the Messenger. So mere kinship does not benefit. Yes, if kinship and faith are combined, there is no doubt that this is a great virtue, but mere kinship does not benefit.
