The ruling on dividing a surah between the two rak'ahs of the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, in the prayer of the one who leads, is it permissible to recite a surah in each rak'ah, such as reciting al-Kahf in the first and another in the second, or is it permissible to divide a surah between the two rak'ahs?

Answer:
There is no objection to dividing a surah, such as al-Hujurat or something similar, between the two rak'ahs, because this is more convenient for the ma'mum (those praying behind the imam). One divides a surah like al-Hujurat or Qaf into two parts, dividing the surah between the two rak'ahs. This is undoubtedly more convenient for the worshippers, especially with the recitation of the long surahs; dividing it between the two rak'ahs is more convenient for the worshippers. Yes.
