Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some imams in the Fajr prayer on Friday recite only Surat al-Sajdah in the two rak'ahs. When we object to them and say this is not from the Sunnah, they say, "I do not want to burden the congregation." Is this action correct?
Answer:
There is hardship for the congregation, my brother? There is no hardship, praise be to Allah. Reciting Surat al-Sajdah and "Has there come upon man a period from the life of the world in which he was not a thing mentioned?" in them is a mustahabb (recommended) practice, and it is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The one who restricts himself to Surat al-Sajdah has not fulfilled the Sunnah and has not followed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes. It has ended. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his Companions.
