The ruling on consistently reciting specific surahs after prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a Sudanese questioner, Ali Nasr al-Din, residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to designate the recitation of a specific surah from the Noble Qur'an? For example, in the Fajr prayer, I recite whatever of the Qur'an is easy for me, and then I recite Surah Ya-Sin, al-Waqi'ah, al-Rahman, and Tabaarak. Is this designation permissible, given that I am regular in reciting two parts of the Qur'an?

Answer:
It is not permissible to designate these surahs on a permanent basis, but if he recites them occasionally, there is no harm in that. As for persisting in reciting them after prayer, this is not prescribed. What is reported is that one recites Ayat al-Kursi, Surah al-Ikhlas, and the two mu'awwidhat after every prayer, especially after the Maghrib prayer and after the Fajr prayer. As for reciting surahs other than these, and this verse, persisting in doing so and arranging it on a permanent basis is not permissible. Yes.
