The Permissibility of Praying with the Short Surahs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Our sister says, in another matter: When I pray, I do not recite anything but from the short surahs of the Qur'an, because my memorization is sometimes mixed up. Am I sinful in this situation, or is it permissible? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no sin on you, praise be to Allah, in restricting yourself to the short surahs in the prayer, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Recite what is easy for you of it." So if you recite
what is easy [for you] of the Qur'anمَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
[Al-Muzzammil 73:20]
after al-Fatihah, whether it is verses or surahs, long or short, the objective is achieved, praise be to Allah. Yes.
