Combining Surahs in One Rak'ah: What is the Ruling?

The questioner : A man, O Khalid, recited in the obligatory prayer. In the first rak'ah he recited "Say, O you disbelievers" and "Al-Fath" is confirmed, and in the second he recited "Say, He is Allah, One," "Al-Falaq," and "Al-Nas." What do you say regarding combining surahs?

The Shaykh : This is a man who came to ask you about this man who did this.

The questioner : There is no harm, because it is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he combined surahs.

The Shaykh : He recited the surahs in the first and three surahs in the second; there is no harm.

The questioner : No, there is nothing.

The Shaykh : Initially.

The questioner : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in the hadith of Ibn Abbas, prayed with al-Baqarah, al-Nisa, and the people of 'Umaran.

The Shaykh : Ibn Abbas.

The questioner : Please, Ibn Mas'ud.

The Shaykh : From Mas'ud? Glory be to Allah. Hudhayfah ibn Imran, is that it? Now, if someone were to say to us that the one who says it is permissible is not required to provide the evidence that is required of the one who says it is prohibited or disliked.

The questioner : No, that is in transactions. As for acts of worship, the default is prohibition and restriction unless there is evidence indicating its permissibility.

The Shaykh : It does not contradict. If he says this in acts of worship, and the default is water, and this one says, "I have no money," he recites whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an,

The questioner : How, O Mama?

The Shaykh : He means he recites whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an. The Qur'an is in the Book of Allah, whatever is easy of the Qur'an, it is not specified.

The questioner : The verse indicates that there is no harm in it for you.

The Shaykh : The one who is required.

The questioner : The one who says there is no evidence for it is the one who says it is not permissible, he is the one who says.

The Shaykh : The one who says it is disliked or not permissible.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : He is the one who is required to provide evidence. If there is no need for us to bring a positive evidence, meaning a real evidence, for example, a real evidence that the man combined, it is not necessary, but there is no harm in bringing it as evidence of strengthening,

The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The Shaykh : Did you not understand?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Hello. Is this understood? Now, if someone were to say, if it were not reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) combined between surahs in voluntary prayer, would you say it is disliked? We say, no, we do not say it is disliked, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.

The questioner : The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it, he did not do it, so his actions did not explain the Qur'an, if it were ready for you, I, he, if.

The Shaykh : Yes, no, we do not accept.

The questioner : On the path of the savior.

The Shaykh : We do not say this. We say it is not a Sunnah, we do not say "do it," but we say if you did it, there is no harm, because we have evidence for its permissibility. But now, if someone were to say, for example, this came in voluntary prayer. Adel. Present. Except with evidence, and here there is no evidence for its dislike in the difference.
