Lengthening the recitation in the first rak'ah and shortening the second

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Some people lengthen the recitation in the first rak'ah, especially in the Fajr and 'Isha' prayers, whereas in the second rak'ah they shorten it considerably. He asks: Is this prescribed?

Answer:
Considerably? No, that is not prescribed. However, it is permissible for the first rak'ah to be slightly longer than the second. But a significant difference is not allowed.
