The ruling on lengthening the recitation in the Fajr prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. One of the imams says that some people in the mosque turn away from lengthening the prayer due to its difficulty and burden. He says: In my observation, he does not recite more than a page or half a page. And they follow the hadith of Mu'adh, Abu al-Tahir, and Mu'adh. What is your opinion, and what is the Shaykh's opinion?
Answer:
It is recommended to lengthen the recitation in the Fajr prayer because Allah named it the recitation of Fajr. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Isra 17:78] It is called the recitation of Fajr because the recitation is lengthened in it.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lengthen the recitation in the Fajr prayer, reciting from seventy to one hundred verses. So, lengthen the recitation in the Fajr prayer. A page of the Qur'an or a sheet of the Qur'an is not long. If some people say it is long, that is a mistake; it is not a long word. This is considered from the first word.

Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Qur'an of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn
