Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Many questions are asked, saying: Is it permissible for the imam to recite Surat al-Ikhlas and then recite another surah after it, following the example of that Companion and the approval of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for him, and for this to become his customary practice?
Answer:
If it does not disturb the people, for people today are disturbed by this, which is what they are accustomed to, so he should not disturb the people. But if he prays alone for himself, or with people who know this and are not disturbed, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
