Reciting Surat al-Sajdah and Surat al-Jumu'ah in places other than their designated positions in the prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: An imam recites from Surat al-Sajdah and Surat al-Insan in the Fajr prayer on Friday, and sometimes recites Surat al-Jumu'ah and Surat al-Munafiqun, and sometimes recites Surat al-Jumu'ah in the 'Isha' prayer on Thursday. Is this action valid?

Answer:
No. Reciting Surat al-Jumu'ah and Surat al-Munafiqun is for the Friday prayer, while Surat al-Sajdah and "Has there come upon man" is for the Fajr prayer on Friday. Everything is timed for its specific time, and we do not act on our own initiative. So we recite Surat al-Jumu'ah and Surat al-Munafiqun in the Friday prayer, or "Subhan" and "Al-Ghashiyah" in the Friday prayer, and we do not recite them in Fajr or in 'Isha'. This is contrary to the Sunnah. We do not say that it is not permissible, but we say it is contrary to the Sunnah.
