Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This questioner has used the initials T.R. from Riyadh. He says: The imam of the mosque in our neighborhood recites Surat al-Sajdah and Surat al-Insan every Friday Fajr, and he does this regularly. Is this from the Sunnah, Honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : He recites Surat al-Sajdah and Surat al-Insan in the Fajr prayer on Friday.
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite these two surahs in the Fajr prayer on Friday, and he used to persist in doing so. However, "persisting" can mean continuous persistence, or it can mean doing so most of the time. Although the default is the first, meaning continuous persistence, the scholars said that it should be varied occasionally with other surahs.
The presenter : All right.
The Shaykh : So that the common people do not think that reciting them in the Fajr prayer on Friday is obligatory, and this is a good opinion.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, Shaykh Muhammad.
