The ruling on reciting Surah al-Sajdah and Surah al-Insan in the Friday prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If the imam of the mosque does not memorize two surahs, six and a half, is it permissible for him to recite them on Friday in the mosque throughout the year?

Answer:
He recites other surahs, reciting two surahs: al-Sajdah and al-Insan, and al-Fajr and al-Jumu'ah are recommended if it is easy. If it is not easy, he recites what he has memorized, then he recites other surahs, and praise be to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says:
so recite what is easyفَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ
[Al-Muzzammil 73:20]
with you from the Qur'an, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
So recite what is easy from itفَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ
[Al-Muzzammil 73:20]
The religion is easy, and praise be to Allah. There is no need for it, because carrying the mushaf in prayer is a matter of disagreement among scholars, even in tarawih. Some scholars hold that in night prayer, one does not carry the mushaf, because it involves distraction, movement, and looking at the writing, which distracts one from the prayer to some extent. However, the correct view is that in tarawih and voluntary prayers, there is no harm in it, but in the obligatory prayer, there is no need for it. I recite what is not strange, praise be to Allah.
