The ruling on reciting the Qur'an after al-Fatihah in the last two rak'ahs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Honorable Shaykh! In the four-rak'ah prayer, such as the midday and afternoon prayers, is it a recommended practice to recite something from the Qur'an in the first two rak'ahs, and is it sufficient to recite only al-Fatihah in the last two rak'ahs? In the first two rak'ahs of the midday, afternoon, sunset, and night prayers, one recites something from the Qur'an after al-Fatihah.

Answer:
As for the last two rak'ahs, the recommended practice is to restrict oneself to al-Fatihah. Yes, it is reported in some narrations that one recites something from the Qur'an after al-Fatihah in the last two rak'ahs, and some scholars held this view, but the majority of scholars hold that this is not practiced, and it is not established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
