The ruling on reciting Surat al-A'raf in the Maghrib prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it similar to reciting from the long surahs of the Quran in the Maghrib prayer at this time?

Answer:
Most of the time, the imam recites from the short surahs of the final part of the Quran; that is the norm. However, sometimes, if it does not burden the congregation and he knows that the people in the congregation desire this, he may recite Surat al-A'raf with them, splitting it between the two rak'ahs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited it in the Maghrib prayer on some occasions. He recited from Surat al-Tur on some occasions, and he recited from the long surahs in the Maghrib prayer, but this was only on some occasions. The norm is that he recites from the short surahs of the final part of the Quran; that is the norm.

Question:
Welcome.

Answer:
As for the news, I do not know of any evidence that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to inform them. I see some imams put up an announcement, and I do not know of any evidence for that. However, if it is known from the circumstances of the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam) that they desire this, and it does not burden them, there is no harm.
