Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The imam of our neighborhood recites the verse from Surat al-Baqarah[Al-Baqarah 2:21] in the loud prayers, then recites al-Ikhlas and bows. Is his action correct?

The Fajr prayer. The loud prayer. The prayer being performed. It is reported that some of the Companions used to conclude their recitation in prayer with Surat al-Ikhlas, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of that.
