The ruling on carrying the mushaf and reading from it in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Is it permissible for me to carry the mushaf in the Fajr prayer? The questioner says this because I do not memorize the long surahs?
Answer:
It is not obligatory for you to read from the long surahs. Read from what you have memorized, even if they are short surahs. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Muzzammil 73:20], and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 397a. There is no need to carry the mushaf as long as you have memorized something of the Qur'an, even if it is a little. Yes.

So recite what is easy from it
فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُand then recite whatever you conveniently can from the Qur'an
ثم اقرأ ما تيسر معك من القرآن
